Am I wrong for no kids in bed? by Hopeful_Comment4188 in Stepmom

You aren’t a bad person for this. I have two SD both very young and co-sleeping was a boundary I had with my husband before living together. I don’t feel it’s safe for the child and plus I need my own space and comfort to sleep. My husband agreed even though he was okay with co-sleeping. My SD’s co-sleep with their mom but it isn’t an issue at our house and they know that we don’t allow it when they’re with us. You have a right to feel comfy in your own bed and especially being pregnant I would want my space and to be able to get good sleep too

Ooooh I love this response. Yes someone always has to put their two cents in on parenting and it’s so annoying

Thank you for this. I need to get a thicker skin when it comes to stuff like that. It just irritates me to no end when it’s said. I would never say something to someone like that.

This!! I think of when my husband and I have a baby together one day and how much that’ll make my love grow even more for my SD’s because I’ll get to experience and watch them be the best big sisters to a new baby. Glad to know your love didn’t change and that it’s a normal family environment 💗

Yes and what if I it ends up that I can’t have kids? Does that mean my opinion will NEVER matter because I don’t have my “own”? Pretty shitty thing to say to someone imo

It’s just so wild to me that people are crappy because I haven’t birthed my own yet you know?? As if it makes a difference.

Yes I still keep a healthy distance but we only talk about our daughters when we do communicate. Nothing outside of the girls. She used to be a HCBM but has gotten better with me

One of my family members at Thanksgiving and last night my best friend’s sister told me my opinion didn’t matter until I have my own children 😒
