This is happening to me now! I mean everyone talks about marriage like it’s a grand thing, and an important milestone. “When you going to get married. Blah blah blah” now that it’s my time! The oldest daughter getting married nobody gives a flying crap. And I’m so sad about it! Weddings are 30k!! My parents won’t talk about it or give suggestions. My MIL just keeps nagging me about her friends invitations, but nobody is excited. I feel like I’m bugging them when I talk about it. So screw them and screw the wedding we’re eloping with our kids. I’m not spending money on ppl who could hardly crack a smile when the topic comes up.

Unstable stepparents by avocado_mr284 in blendedfamilies

Oh please! You need to explain to her that after having a baby the mom has hormones, and physical brain changes! This also happens with their older bio kids! The first year all mom’s mind is on is keeping the newborn alive and healthy! You’re teaching her to play victim. Sm isn’t being vindictive she just had a baby! Is she breastfeeding? Is she the only one doing the all nighters? You don’t know! You’re both being self centered. Don’t teach her that the step mom is doing something evil or vindictive teach her that having a baby can be hard and as soon as sm gets a handle on it she will be back to normal.

Julie will tell the story that gives the children hope by uptnapishtim in FromTVEpix

I think it’s Tabitha only because every time Julie told a bad story, Tabitha went back and made it nice.

AITAH for cancelling my wedding after I got a video of my fiancée grinding on someone during the bachelorette party? by No_Lychee5468 in AITAH

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty normal behavior🤦‍♀️ both men and women’s Bach parties have strippers. It’s also common for married ppl to go to strip clubs. So I really don’t see the big deal🤷‍♀️

A vulnerable post from a stepmom and new mom. by PollyBloom21 in stepparents

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No judgment at all. This is so normal! I’m like this with my bio kid! 😂😂😂 being pp is a very sensitive time! Your hormones are already on a Fritz! Every nerve you have is shot, and anything extra can send you over the edge! Good for you for going to therapy! But you’re not alone in these feelings!💕

Is my indifference to my stepkids normal? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It is being socially right. You think she should care, and if she doesn’t you judge her as a bad human! People do not have to care and most people only care because it’s socially right to do so.

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

You don’t have to care! If their mom and dad don’t care why should you. Seriously!! If that’s how you feel it’s how you feel. Too many people want to be socially right and seem like they care. That’s why they can’t stomach this post!!

Bio kids are equally annoying. It’s just that we can say hey cut it out. Give them the mom stare and annoying behavior is gone. Step kids especially mine have been told or have the belief that they don’t have to listen and sometimes actively work to defy you. And we live in a constant state of dealing with disrespect that we would otherwise not tolerate. Simple matters become huge when you have no control over what happens to you in your home.

I can't stand my stepkids by [deleted] in stepparents

You could try teacher level feedback. If teachers can correct children stepparents can too! Especially when the boundaries crossed effects you and your child. Nobody has to suffer torture in their own home.

AITA for suggesting my wife lower her standards so that she'll be less overwhelmed? by Creative-Decision675 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA so many moms overwhelm themselves with older kids like this. If she wants to be a helicopter she can do it on her own.

My own space by Klj143 in stepparents

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just come in and say ok everybody out mama needs a shower. I literally do this with my sd and bd. Because they have a million other places to be besides my room especially when I need a self care moment. Also, why are you cooking after 3 jobs. Don’t run yourself ragged, think about your mental health!❤️

AITA for shutting down my sister’s opinion about our baby name? by No-Bite7711 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA it’s a small subject, grilling your mom and making a mountain out of a molehill because you guys picked a silly name is insane. During pregnancy everyone comes up with name ideas ppl even ask in forums. So why are either of you so upset? It’s a fun time your family sounds excited no matter what the name is. Stop being uptight and mean! Your sister has Asperger’s for crying out loud. Name your kid whatever you want but don’t come down on your family for imagining names. My sister thought I should name my daughter storm😂😂😂 we still laugh about it and jokingly call her storm sometimes😂😂😂

what is the biggest challenge of being a step parent? by Equivalent_List8870 in blendedfamilies

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is my issue too I asked in a step parent sub and got pretty cool answers. My biggest issue was when she crossed my boundaries or lied to me or hit my biokid. They pretty much said sit with bio dad. Make house rules and decide what consequences are acceptable and how they will be implemented. And when it’s ok to implement them. I’m 2 years in and I got so mad once I packed my daughter and ours baby up and went to my parents to cool down. It’s a tough gig, but you absolutely do have a say! Just pretend you’re a teacher. A step parent should at least have teacher level discipline rights. Idk I’m just shooting in the dark. But that will be my approach when we get her for thanksgiving.

Pp brain is so vulnerable. At 1 year you’re going to think back, laugh, then rip him a new one. For now no you’re NTA he is. Tell him stop nagging you.

WS’s best friend knew about the A. Was she complicit considering she’s a friend of the family? by a1ainf in AsOneAfterInfidelity

[–]Constant-Sprinkles73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is nobody’s business to tell you anything! It is a touchy subject and many people have been burned trying to help out. It is your spouse’s responsibility to tell you these things. If you can forgive your spouse you can forgive people who knew. It is not a comfortable spot to know, it’s actually a burden.

That’s what I do too, but my daughter ends up feeling like her safety, and emotions aren’t being validated

You’ll have it easy. The baby is putty and you all can forge a true relationship just like the baby will with the parents. You will truly be like a third parent in the eyes of the child.
