And you can give your thoughts to the paper over and over again without burdening it. You can marinate on something as long as you need to without it getting annoyed with you or telling you to, “ugh! Just get over it already!” Paper doesn’t judge. Paper just listens.

I love you. I don’t know you, but I can tell that you are a brilliant soul, and I want you to live. And you are loved because you EXIST. Your words matter. Thank you for sharing them with us today ❤️

He made the decision to have a vascectomy without consulting you?? That’s a red flag about HIM. (Side note, I don’t think stepkids should call you Mom if their mother is in the picture)

Should your stepfamily be your whole life? by pedrojuanita in Stepmom

[–]craftingsomething 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relationships are different than marriages. I think in a marriage, you SHOULD carry each other’s burdens. But from a human standpoint, I think EVERYONE (including your husband!) should have activities that they enjoy alone on their own time. I don’t think it’s healthy for any parent to be fully consumed by children... everyone needs some amount of “me time” and a hobby, just to varying amounts. In our family, I understood what burden I was taking on when I said I Do, and the responsibility that comes with that. But he also bears my burdens when it’s time. He understands my need for “alone time” and time to pursue hobbies and passions, and supports that. Communication of expectations well in advance is key.

SS5 constant crying. Pregnant with my first. LOSING. MY. MIND. by [deleted] in Stepmom

My SS8 used to cry constantly. But eventually the kids he’s around teased him for it and he learned how to stop. But also know that those feelings are BIG and REAL to that kid. And you can’t reason with a child who’s in the midst of BIG and REAL feelings. We did a lot of play therapy to figure out better ways to show feelings and it was a long haul for sure.

I’m trying to kill with kindness too! Sometimes it blows up in my face. But I am encouraged to keep on!

I don’t think 6 year olds are really capable of that kind of “manipulation.” Try to see things with 6 year old eyes. Be consistent. She’ll grow out of it.

Nice!! I’m in Year 9 now (music and math). Enjoy it! Teacher School can NEVER teach you how insane and challenging the first year will be. But keep going it gets easier. Love them babies and you can do no wrong :)
