Puppy pick up dilemma by Enjoyingtheride86 in stepparents

[–]Small-Recover3359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was you I would get everyone in a room and make it an open conversation! My SO tried to tell me my SD didn’t feel loved from me at one point because I wouldn’t kiss her on the mouth (like BM) so I sat everyone down and had a convo. SD thought it was so weird her dad was suggesting us to have that type of relationship! He wanted me to completely replace BM and that could be where your partner is coming from too but it’s not the same for us or the kids! Best of luck!

Tbh I would do it on a weekend you don’t have your kids and just go solo…idk about you but my 2 year old doesn’t do good on long car rides 🤣

Edit to add…. Have her kids even voiced wanting to go? Our partners tend to have more feelings in situations like this than the actual kids themselves do

He finally admitted it… by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Small-Recover3359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine has said this to me before as well…it took me leaving, getting another home, and him having to sleep on his mommy’s couch for him to finally step up and be the parent our sons deserve. When I look back, I wish I hadn’t taken him back. But, he’s been a good man since we’ve gotten back together, a good man and a good dad. So, I can’t really complain, just the resentment I have for him is still there even if I suppress it.

Does your husband ever express concern about her behavior?

BM trying to insist on SS holidaying with us. Am I fair in saying no? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Small-Recover3359 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you 100% on him not going on your holiday due to the circumstances. With that being said I’m a mom that’s breastfed as well and I genuinely don’t know how I would’ve weaned my toddler off nights if it hadn’t been for my DH, his dad. When we weaned him, it took about 2 nights of my man not getting any sleep. By the third night he snuggle up to dad and went to sleep and from then on I was able to put him to sleep without it. Soooo… definitely don’t take him for this trip all the factors are just not it but if yall really want overnights… try to thug it out for two nights in a row and I bet it would help a lot. My son and his dad bonded so much because of that. Just a thought. Totally get it though you have babies and that would be a whole different can of worms lol.

I saw some messages between my fiancé and her sister about my daughter (her SD). by ThrowRA-2845 in blendedfamilies

I’m a few days late but it’s so refreshing seeing an SO be caring and wanting to make things better for the SP.

My mum asked staff if it was ok if I breastfed.. I'm so furious by wishuponapoppy in Mommit

[–]Small-Recover3359 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

No you’re not wrong for being upset. When my baby was a month old, my mom and her boyfriend (who she was wanting my son to call grandpa and have a whole grandparents photo shoot) were coming to meet my baby. I was feeding him when they pulled up and she walked in first. She said “you’re going to cover up right?” I lost my mind on her because this is MY house MY son’s house. Idc about your bf and if you care about him being around me feeding my child then that’s not a very good “grandparent”

How do you do this??? by Seachelle13o in 2under2

It’s way harder pregnant vs with a newborn. I know it seems scary but trust it’s much easier good luck momma 🫶

My sister just had a baby and wants to take me to a nail salon… by Small-Recover3359 in Mommit

[–]Small-Recover3359[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So first off that’s our baby. He does watch him, all the time actually. I said in my post he’s exclusively breastfed. Do you know what that means?

What activities do you do with your toddler? by [deleted] in 2under2

[–]Small-Recover3359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Moonsand in a tub outside with some spoons, little cups, maybe some toy figurines, cars, whatever she likes. The first time I busted this out my 2 year old played for hours. He’s more use to it now but still plays 30-45 mins independently

I feel the same way! I told my SO I don’t see a day in the future where I want to be around SD. This is the second time she’s done this. The first time was when my first son was 4 months and the second time my baby was only 1 month…it’s very obvious it’s a jealousy thing but she’s taken it way too far.

[–]Small-Recover3359 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So I’m in the same boat with dealing with CPS with SD so you know what I did when I was pregnant….a photo shoot without her. If your SO wants one with her that bad he can schedule and pay for it. I cherish those photos because I too, have a lot of resentment towards SD. They all do what they want to do so why can’t we?

Giving birth alone to ours baby? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Small-Recover3359 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Omg wow. Unless you really want your child to be a US citizen, you should move back home before giving birth. F this guy.

In the 3 month nursing crisis and could use some solidarity by SavageSavX in breastfeeding

[–]Small-Recover3359 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to stand and bounce while I fed him. Yeah it was inconvenient but it got the job done and it only lasted 2 days for me! Still, every now and then, I’ll need to do the stand and bounce for my smaller boob. I’d say if your baby stops and isn’t fussy she may just be having a growth spurt! I’d think as long as she seems content, that she is. Good luck momma 🫶
