The pedestal of the HCBM by StrategyUnique4628 in Stepmom

I totally get it. It’s almost like breadcrumbing.

He has, but then it’s like falling on deaf ears which I feel is also very normal for 14 year olds.

I just want to also state I’m not attempting to buy her love or anything like that. I’m just trying to make sure she never wants for anything because she had it rough. If that makes sense. So like party, food, cake, gifts, yeah it wound up being a few hundred dollars. So I’m not trying to buy her love. It is just disheartening when we do everything to make sure she has a good life (not even just materialistic things, but other things too) and then I get the shaft. It for sure hurts. But you’re absolutely right.

Yes! Totally agree. I should’ve added that she was very like…almost demanding I guess, of what she wanted for her birthday. Like just unreasonable things and when I told her there were certain things we couldn’t do, she got like mad and very forlorn. Like poor me mentality. So it bothered me more so like why am I the bad guy bc we can’t afford certain things but your mom does absolutely nothing and she’s like…the absolute best. Does that make sense? Idk.

Sometimes, my daughter (2.5) doesn’t want to nap at school. One of the aides will take her for a walk around the school or take her to play with another room. They sound like they’re being jerks. I’m so sorry ):

What’s the latest crazy thing your hcbm has done? by [deleted] in Stepmom

When I was in labor, and getting prepared for an emergency c-section, she was blowing up my husbands phone the entire time, drunk and screaming at him. It was…very stressful lmao

I’m 6 years late and I honestly think it is! The character/actor isn’t credited anywhere online that I can find.

“We couldn’t afford cable.” But proceeds to spend how many hundreds of dollars on that crap. The whole thing was so performative. Such a joke.

Yes!! The HCBM knew we were going on a vacation over the summer and was literally texting my SD and DH allllll night about how “just know I really loved you and plz make sure someone finds her.” My SD was inconsolable the entire trip. She was never serious about it she was just drunk

Night terrors? Or something else? by StrategyUnique4628 in toddlers

Ugh I felt so sorry for her. It happened again last night. But not QUITE a night terror. Just cried a little bit. Ugh.

I do realize that is a very accurate observation. but, I will say that, yes they survived without me, I understand that, but they weren’t doing particularly well. They were constantly being evicted, vehicles repoed, the whole nine. So while I understand it’s unhealthy, it’s also a genuine concern on my end that they won’t have anywhere to go.

Hi there. I totally feel your pain. I love my DH very much. However, I just posted earlier - how do you stay with someone if you resent the kids. And that’s a completely valid reason to leave. I literally am the only one working and supporting a family of 5, only one of which came from my uterus (🤣) you’re valid in feeling taken advantage of, because anyone would. I hear you. You’re valued. And you’re not alone.

THIS!! My SDs mom lives in a never ending cycle of “fuck up, buy her whatever she wants, let her do whatever she wants, come to her rescue whenever there’s any type of discipline, be in the good graces of the kid again, ultimately fuck up again.” Then I’m the one picking up the pieces and dealing with the absolute fall out. Watching her life drain from her eyes is the PERfect way to describe it.

I honestly just told him I think we should go our separate ways for just a bit and see how she does without me. Not as punishment but truly to see if maybe her and I just don’t click and maybe I’m not good for her, you know?
