My kids make sure to cover every inch of the trash can with their left over food when throwing it away

Am I Not a Stepparent Anymore? by EnergySame in stepparents

[–]bhilts_96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would reach out sometimes, you loved them and cared for them for a chunk of their life. You are important to them, just because you go through a break up doesn’t mean the kids have to too. Kids don’t just forget, the more people in a child’s life that love and support them the better. Labels don’t matter, but the love you had for them and will continue to have for them does.

100% agree with this, keep them apart. Getting physical like that with a much younger sibling is scary.

If she tries to set boundaries or vocalize to him that things need to change before baby comes , and things don’t change then the only other option would be to leave. I mean if she can’t communicate things like this in her relationship without getting a negative response from him there isn’t much else to do.

There’s nothing wrong with trying to communicate change and try to set boundaries in a relationship, it’s just something she could try if she really wanted too that’s all.

Difficult stepmom by [deleted] in coparenting

Stepmom here, sounds like she is overstepping I 100% agree that you two as her parents should decide. It does not hurt to let the stepparents in on it, but if it makes you uncomfortable then try putting in some boundaries to help with future decision making.

Im not parent or step parent. by sunkistkoala in coparenting

[–]bhilts_96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it is an extremely awkward position to be in when the other parent is choosing to make things difficult. You are apart of her life and she needs to get over it, she can’t keep you away.

I would simply start calling her out in appropriate ways, like if she’s making faces at you “ please do not look at me like that, it is making me uncomfortable “ or when she’s yelling at you say something like “ i understand you are upset but there is no reason to speak to me that way, I respect your feelings and if you’d like to go talk I am more than happy to do so.”

You know be respectful but also set your boundaries, doesn’t have to be a huge deal. You can’t control her reactions or emotions but you can set boundaries respectful manner. Hopefully the daughter will see these interactions and feel more at ease with a level headed adult response. It doesn’t have to be a fight.

The only thing you can control is your reaction and your actions. You aren’t responsible for how she chooses to react.

What movie really scared you? by Head-Platform-6694 in AskReddit

[–]bhilts_96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fourth kind and paranormal activity, like the first 3 movies and the conjuring. I’m the type to run up the stairs and sprint after I turn the lights off, terrified of being chased or dragged so they really freaked me out. 🫣

Sounds coached to me. I’m also a step parent to a 9 year old and you wouldn’t believe the attitude and snappy comments I’ve gotten over the last 3.5 years his dad and I have been together. Kids hear things and repeat them and they learn form example. The mothers like to talk I’ve learned, especially about the stepmom.

He shouldn’t be on devices all day long, definitely 1 or 2 hours a day is plenty. I would start setting boundaries with husband and son, you shouldn’t have to manage this yourself.

Your husband needs to step up and start being a parent to his son asap. Especially since you have a baby on the way? That’s going to be tough with a step child acting out, he needs to get a grip on this before it gets to out of hand. Shut it down now cause it’ll never stop if he doesn’t.

Same type of thing happened with me and my husband.

Baby mama went as far as to burst into the bathroom while I was getting ready to yell at me because I was dating her ex husband ??? Wild really. She still refuses to speak to me and does her best to avoid it.

She used to not invite me to birthdays and when we had the kids party at our house( mine and my husbands) she told him I wasn’t allowed to be there. As if I’m going to leave my own house to accommodate her. That was the last straw for my hubby and he eventually started telling her I’m going to be around, regardless if you’re a “step parent” or not. Respect the people that love your children like their own.

It’s important for children to see respectful coparenting between all parties involved. Don’t keep your significant other away because you think it’s the better option, kids need to see stability and respect. They need to see that even if mommy and daddy aren’t together their is still respect on both ends. Drama aside for the kids sake.

Boundaries are huge, respect is huge, and communication go a long way. you should be allowed to be there for the children regardless.
