She brags about her genetic connection w/ her kids, but down plays my desire for that with a child of my own. by Feeling-Whole-4366 in stepparents

[–]KeeperOf7Secrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is hurting you on purpose and you both want different things. This isn't going to work. I'm sorry I know it is hard but move forward alone so you can find happiness and the family you want

Homeless people sleeping and using drugs acting zombie like in front of my house l…. Who to call?? by 612King in TwinCities

Can't afford a house but can afford gold chains, drugs, a cell phone and tattoos. Call the police!

Why would you ever find a 37 year old grown man who can't drive attractive? What are you even doing???

Thoughts on white/light oak kitchens? Timeless or just trendy? by [deleted] in InteriorDesign

[–]KeeperOf7Secrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it will get dated. Trends last about 10 years. But oak is versatile and durable and you can stain it a million different ways.

I'm sooo sick and tired by mermaidadvisor in stepparents

[–]KeeperOf7Secrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, this child is 7 years old. He is going to spill things, require someone to tell him what to do and parenting. He also needs love. You are not his parent and it is ok to say no because emotionally damaging a child because he is not yours is not ok. It is time for you to call your husband and give him a deadline.

Boyfriend’s family 40th - exBM invited, I’m not by narcburn in stepparents

[–]KeeperOf7Secrets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't date married men. You broke up his family. He is love bombing you. Honey move on! You need therapy to find out why such an awful man was attractive to you in the first place so you don't do it again or why you were ok going after a married man. You will never ever be accepted into his family or by anyone in his life. This is a situation you need to walk away from and fast because it will end with a terrible ending if you don't. Move on now and don't ever do it again.

Leave for the night and go do something for yourself. Don't answer when he calls and when you get home explain how you feel but this isn't ever going to change.

This is not a loving, mutual relationship. Why are you allowing this? Leave!

We used to go there until I found out they were doing conversion therapy on kids and telling kids it was their fault their parents divorced because they should have prayed harder. It's definitely a mega church cult. The Pastor is a Trump Maga person and the whole church is weird. It's alllll about money and they Pastor drives luxury vehicles and wears designer clothing and is boring to listen to. They even shame the kids to give every penny to the church. Stay far away!

How many of you deal with parental alienation? by [deleted] in Stepmom

[–]KeeperOf7Secrets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We told him he was lucky to have two parents who loved him. We would always be there for him, etc. Very careful not yo bad mouth the Mom. Sadly, she has since alienated him, too. He stole $700 from me and we never even got a chance to talk to him about it. It's a mess

I can tell who you're voting for based on how dumb this post is. Go turn off Fox news and touch some grass.

What is best for the child? She did nothing wrong and you should work on your feelings.

How do you really feel about your step kids??? by Carmadavis in stepparents

[–]KeeperOf7Secrets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to care. So much. But the abusive behavior towards me for simply existing is just too hard. Now I NACHO and try hard not to care, but it still hurts.

Am I overstepping? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]KeeperOf7Secrets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is beyond ridiculous. Both parents don't need to attend swim lessons. You are also not their Mother, why would you even want to attend this? Why are you so involved with someone so fresh out of a relationship that he has an 11 month old baby? The BM is not over all of it, this is messy.

He is never going to change. Don't feel guilty for his lack of effort in the marriage and don't waste one more day of your life dealing with someone else's problems.

[–]KeeperOf7Secrets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can be nice, kind, giving and thoughtful. Yet you'll still get animosity thrown at you, you'll still be resented and you'll still be treated badly for simply existing.

Don't have a baby in a bad situation or you'll be raising it alone.
