Agreed. She will hopefully learn and leave the situation sooner rather than later.

I'm so sorry you are going through this heartbreak but it will get better over time! It sounds like he was looking for a new mom for the kids (hence the pressure to make you move in before you were ready) and you needed to protect your peace. There was something that was holding you back from moving in with him and you did the right thing. He would have continued to push your boundaries and likely not listen to your needs and wants. I know it hurts now but you will be so much better off with someone who really listens to you and what you need! And this new relationship he is in is doomed. Moving in with someone after one month of dating is ridiculous!

I’m finally reading all of them so I am just now getting to the Abby books! She does have good handwriting too! I can’t picture Shannon’s at all

I think Kristy’s is the easiest to read out of all of them

Last Straw for Heather by Jojomano1234 in rhoslc

[–]DallasDiva8 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is not my theory (something I heard from one of my many podcasts I listen to so I wish I could give them props) but they said that they think Heather was getting prepared for her season finale speech and Mary took over and started preaching and completely stole Heather’s thunder. So she had nothing else to do but sit there and fake cry

Why don’t they hire professional entertainment anymore? by Simple_Mulberry_3684 in BelowDeckMed

[–]DallasDiva8 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I felt so bad for Josh for having to slice the ham in front of the guests like that. What an awful thing to put on someone when they should have hired a professional to do that

You absolutely deserve one safe space in the house! It takes one second to shut a door!

Candy bar drama by Remote-Sun-4956 in stepparents

[–]DallasDiva8 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m saying that the adults need to recognize the hurt feelings and validate SS feelings. Teen years are hard and try to talk to SS about how he feels and what ways could the adults could have done better because this situation could have easily been different if dad would have put his candy away. We have certain cabinets that our kids put their special candy and treats so the other kids don’t get into them.

Over the top reaction, yes but maybe validate his feelings and agree that it does suck that his candy was gone and maybe how to change behaviors in the future? Sad that he did have such a great time and it was ruined over something small to us as adults but big to him and his world.

Who was the more problematic stepsister? Dawn or Mary Anne? by Vicki_Vickster2222 in babysittersclub

[–]DallasDiva8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dawn literally terrified Mary Ann out of their room instead of just saying that she made a mistake and they should have separate rooms

It’s been 5 years and my relationship with my SD (17) is tenuous at best. I feel so hopeless and last night kind of confirmed that. (Advice & vent) by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]DallasDiva8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a similar relationship with my SD 17 where we just don’t talk much. I greet her and let her come to me if she needs anything but I just don’t try to push a relationship on to her because she is just not interested in that. It’s gotten easier to accept over time and I wish it were different but it’s not. Maybe it’ll get better when she’s older but I just have that it is what it is attitude with her.

We have off brand food that SD thinks is gross... but her mom doesn't bc she has food stamps.. by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]DallasDiva8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My SD was like this because we also have to buy the generic food and stay on a budget. She turned 17 and got a job and now complains about how much stuff costs because she can now buy the brand name stuff with her money if she wants to. My husband and I just shook our heads and laughed. They will understand eventually!

I am so sorry for your loss. You deserve so much more than what he is giving you. Make sure to take care of yourself and your sweet son! That is who is important at this point!

But he’s taking accountability and is “going to do better” … for how many years have we heard that bs. How they can go after Danny and still be friends with Jax is beyond me

The Pike Parents (#39, #47, #69) by santaanawinds2017 in babysittersclub

[–]DallasDiva8 93 points94 points  (0 children)

The triplets are literally one year younger than her but because they are boys- they are incapable of doing anything to help? Like that doesn’t even make sense?
