SD being extremely brat
Comments (2)I don't know when your visa expires but I definitely would not marry when such serious issues are involved. When children pee and defecate all over the house that indicates there is a very severe problem. And the girl is a threat to your daughter's safety. To be this violent at the age of 5 is extremely troubling. The father of these children needs to be more involved in their daily lives and in their discipline. To give his daughter all his attention is rewarding her for her bad behavior. That won't fix anything. Personally I would consider this family too great a risk to marry into. The daughter is violent and the son (apparently) has fetal alcohol syndrome. Both may become far more difficult as they age and their father has taken the easy way out by spoiling them. He has not offered his children appropriate discipline and he is not giving you the support you need. Even at the best of times this would be a difficult situation. Marrying is a serious decision and if you had a child together that would make your life even more difficult. I hope you consider carefully before taking this risk....See Moredrained stepmom pt2
Comments (113)yes we wanted aunt out. For the 3 1/2 years I have been in my relation with my husband and with my SD never once has she lived on her own. I undertand needing help but she is an adult with 2 kids a "degree" or whatever they get i guess certificate for CNA or something yet she wants to work at a seafood market. Did you plan to live with your family forvere? We wanted aunt out for the drugs - grandma is annoying but we dont care if she is there we rather her be there because she can atleast keep an eye on things. B/F says they are both leaving because they are tired of her sh*t.... She doesnt pay her share of the bills or keep her room clean he said idk. He is moving out too... Ever since she wanted to take SD to see her father her family has been fighting with her. I believe thats what started the whole "moving out" situation. If she does struggle i would say there are so many ways to get help here. there is HUD housing for low income fmailies but she already had that and was kicked off the prgram in 2 months.. MYFAMPG - if you had that oportunity would you have screwed that up? nice home in a nice area RENT FREE?? i know i wouldnt have. Basically my point is - i do not have pitty for her. I dont feel bad she is about to be left in the cold. Obviously her family is finally over the whole situation. In the 3 years this is the second time her fmaily has done this and BM went to live with her friend - her friend had sent me an email how she is kicking her out because her electric bill went form 70 to 140 and BM refuses to help. She burns her bridges and soon no one will want to help her. Cant say i blame them either......See MoreSuddenly Stepmom
Comments (19)Condoms fail, women lie, young men lust, young girls don't make the best decisions. Un-wanted children are born every minute...these are facts. So in our situation, an unwanting mother brought her unwanted teen to an unknowing, unwanting man(father)and woman. So terribly sad. Who hurts..I believe this young person does, I'm certain we do, and I pray his mother does so she doesn't make this mistake again, yes mistake..and yes, my husband has learned a huge lesson..see line one. We have not only stepped up to the plate...We're batting like heck at all the crazy pitches!...See MoreBiomoms and stepmoms
Comments (150)I get to be the last post! I agree that neighbors like FD's can be a 'teaching point,' but I don't think I approve of name calling. Discussing how these neighbors lower property values, encourage criminal activity in the neighborhood, etc. and stating that you don't agree with that lifestyle is educational to a child. Saying they are dumba$$ idiots is a different story. One is fact, one is opinion. I agree, if chatting with an adult child I wouldn't think too much about passing opinion on, but with a younger child it seems a better example to stick with fact. The same could be applies to, let's say, TOS's ex. Telling the kids "dad is in love/infatuated with another woman and has chosen to live with her' is fact. Saying 'Dad is a no good, cheating, lying SOB who doesn't deserve you' is opinion. (in my mind it borderlines fact, but is still opinion!) This rules applies back to the SM/mom battle of the OP. It's all about how you convey things to a child. Maturity vs. immaturity. Intent to educate vs, intent to disparage. We all know which is which....See More- 6 years agolast modified: 6 years ago
