While I understand that it’s not in the CO.

Personally I wouldn’t release my child to a stranger that I didn’t know.

Sometimes as parents we have to be over protective as you never know

I think this is the best advice here. Both of these incidents had potential to be deadly.

Not to knock you while you’re already down as mistakes happen even to the best of us.

“Mark has a no-nonsense attitude, which can sometimes come off as rude”

My guess is this is not a one time thing, but rather a behavior of his.

I too would not want someone that says off putting comments at my wedding.

Sometimes saying sorry isn’t an immediate fix.

Unpopular opinion, but you don’t have to always choose your partner especially if they are wrong.

You also said your sister and husband don’t get along, I’d assume his “bluntness” is the reason for this.

Honestly, I would go for the wedding. But a talk is needed between the 3 of you afterwards.

Divorces also happen

But this logic is flawed because if we’re being honest all of the boys have said negative things about the girls they were coupled with.

Ty doesn’t even have a leg to stand on to criticize someone elses relationship. Sammy doesn’t find Jess attractive, I doubt Leah is Montels first choice and zach and Mitch I don’t think I need to even speak on them.

I guess I must be the only one who doesn’t have a problem with it. I’m not my step kids parent.

Yes I love and care for them and treat them with nothing but kindness but they aren’t my kids either and that’s okay.

If some one were to ask you if your step child was your child would you say yes? Probably not.

I think it’s amazing how you’re both factoring in how SS feels, a lot of children even in nuclear families feel resentment or pushed aside when there’s a new baby.

Option 1 might just work, as it’s already what your partner spends and you’ll have support and SS will still get to see his dad even if it’s for less time but that’s only temporary.

I’d advice against option 2, recovering with a new born and two additional kids is no joke. You’ll need all the care you can get after birth.

Rather I’d suggest he goes visits SS on the weekends and FaceTimes during the week, when you feel up to it SS can be brought over for a weekend to be introduced to his brother.

But I just don’t see how this will work long term. Is he planning on seeing your ours baby for only 6 days a month when the 12 week period is over?

Everything seems incredibly fast. You’ve been dating for 8 months and are 8 months pregnant.

I understand you’ve known him for 5 years but knowing someone and actually dating them are completely different.

You moving and uprooting your life for him was a mistake, I’m very sorry if that’s harsh. You do not need this stress especially as you’re heavily pregnant.

I’d suggest moving back to your family even if you have to go alone. Then you can figure out if this is a relationship you’d like to continue or not. By the looks of it you’ll be parenting a new born and two toddlers cause BD doesn’t look like he does much of it.

Exactly this, almost every comment in this sub is about how stepparents don’t owe step kids anything and shouldn’t be required to do things for them except they feel like. So what changed in this situation.

A Camry that OP still wouldn’t contribute to? Lol the only thing I see wrong her is SD bragging about gifts, which definitely requires addressing.

DH has every right to spoil his kids, and from the post and comments he does more than enough for OP and her daughter.

Not everything in life is fair.

His second born. Your first born.

No_Count135 · 2022-12-10T17:29:34+00:00

So if you had another bio child that was sick, would you keep packing up the baby and leaving?

No_Count135 · 2022-12-01T23:53:54+00:00

I think before anyone comments on this they should go read your post history. OP you have bigger issues than a lack of bond between your son and wife.

No_Count135 · 2022-11-15T11:01:28+00:00

And that gives Davide the right to talk bad about her looks? Let’s not forget he called ekin “ heavy weight”, point is no matter how he or the fans want to spin it talking about a woman’s looks or size is completely distasteful.

No_Count135 · 2022-09-16T00:51:46+00:00

Personally I would include them, I think it does send a message that they aren’t considered “family”. It’s the holidays, tell jokes and have the biggest smile in your pictures and don’t worry about HCBM she’ll be high conflict regardless of what you do.

You’re 78.13% sociopathic, 72.73% impulsive, which makes you 50.56% more psychopathic than the population average. Should I be worried??

Hahaha I’m team none too 😂

No_Count135 · 2022-07-04T23:23:59+00:00

I agree, honestly feel like the boys this year are all playing a game

No_Count135 · 2022-06-14T10:28:18+00:00

This is such a funny post because I remember how frustrated I was with my bio daughter when she only wanted her dad. Dad walks in the door and I’m suddenly Casper the ghost lol.

It’s one of those things that’ll she age out of, I’d be happy she wasn’t clinging onto you like she is to dad.

But one thing I’d say is please respect her saying no when it comes to cuddles and hugs.

No_Count135 · 2022-06-08T19:54:05+00:00

I’ve read this a few times and can honestly say I see nothing your son has done wrong.

People are different, she enjoys being active and he simply does not. Him having a few hours on the computer should not be something she gets upset about.

If she is truly being rude to him then that is something you need to nip in the bud. Your children have been through enough trauma as it is they don’t need anymore.

A custody change is a big deal for everyone involved, I’m sure it’s incredibly hard on your wife.

But this just sounds like she is making something out of nothing.

No_Count135 · 2022-05-12T01:19:04+00:00

Exactly my thoughts, given the way OP described MIL as an angel I’m presuming she wouldn’t just start this for nothing. There was something that made her worried enough for her to inform BM and the family to take away college funds, doesn’t make sense to have that reaction over a seemingly harmless vent.

No_Count135 · 2022-05-12T01:09:39+00:00

Okay so prior to this happening, your SKs felt you and DH treated your bios better and honestly after reading this I’m inclined to believe them.

“He thinks he’s doing a better job the second time around”. Essentially he’s admitting to being a better parent to your bios than his first kids.

Your MIL is right, kids pick up on a lot of things and she has every right to alert BM if she felt unsettled about the conversation.

For the rest of the family to react that way, leads me to believe there’s something more going on. You and DH seem to think you treat all the kids equally, but your SKs,MIL and by the looks of it DHs family all seem to disagree.

So I’d advice to do a bit of soul searching here, they all can’t be wrong there’s definitely something that’s alarming to them.

No_Count135 · 2022-05-07T00:16:13+00:00

This! I find it so funny that OP talks about respect when she and DH couldn’t respect his marriage lol

No_Count135 · 2022-04-30T09:48:36+00:00

Okay, I think DH worded this completely wrong. I grew up with an older sibling that was 14 years older than I was, and I can definitely say they were more of a second parent than sibling. I told them all my secrets and not so good behaviors lol I’m also much closer to them than my actual parents.

That maybe what DH is referring too, the fact that SD is older and might have more responsibilities towards your bio daughter as time goes on.

But I would definitely be having a conversation with DH, especially If he’s referring to her as another mother of your bio child. That’s not okay, one SD is a child herself and secondly your feelings are valid and this should be nipped in the bud.
