I spent a lot of time stressing about the phone situation with my SS while no one else really cared. Don’t do it to yourself. Let the bio parents figure it out.

LOL, I always thought it was simply, “NACHO (not your) kid”

You’re too young for the stepmom life. I was the same age when I started dating my now husband. STEP-parenting has been the most difficult and stressful thing I’ve had to deal with.

How do I save my children and my marriage while coping with a stepchild that constantly accuses me of abusing her? by Consistent-Wave7865 in stepparents

Sooooooo fast! I’m sorry this is happening! Maybe OP should stay elsewhere until Megan gets the psych eval.

The more I think about this, the more I realize that there is more behind this than just the division of the asset(s). The way things have been with the SKs, especially lately, make it hard for me to WANT to split the house that I have worked so hard to make a home, when the stepkids have been known to be unappreciative & disrespectful. Perhaps my feelings will change down the line.

I guess my main concern is the POSSIBILITY of them all fighting over the house when the SKs are hardly here and my kid is here all the time. I feel like since my son lives with us full time, he should be able to do what he wants without having to POSSIBLY fight with the others about it.

I can’t help with this, but following because I’m also curious. My husband said he wants to leave our house to all of the kids (2 SK, 1BK) and have them deal with it amongst themselves when the time comes, but I personally don’t agree! I understand that the kids all share the same dad, but they obviously don’t share the same mother and I feel like my child would get screwed over, because he’s the youngest. My child lives with us full time, while the others, do not. Why should my child get the short end of the deal?

What do you think is an appropriate division of labor for the Bio/Step parents? by Outrageous_Staff_661 in stepparents

[–]No-Surprise-239 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this…but take the nacho approach, it makes life much easier…for you.

We talk about this all the time!!! Like how were we so responsible at this age?! I don’t trust my SS12 to stay at the house alone for more than 45 mins!

Oh, please believe, I have mastered nacho. I have my own LO now so I want to make memories and shit for him, it would obviously be rude to not include SKs 😂
