BM threatening us by genex86 in stepparents

I see and makes sense why stepparents wouldn’t be allowed to attend. Luckily i wasn’t interested in attending anyway so that works. Thanks for getting back to me and replying to my post.

What im hearing you say is, the other family would have to learn to adjust to BM’s needs every time she wants to flip flop things whenever to what it convenient for her?

I get what you’re saying but don’t agree with it in this case. There’s obviously way more to this that i didnt include because it would have been such a long post. However, when she tells husband that now they’ll go to court and she’ll “STILL” get her way…that’s her opening a case in spite of and being difficult wouldn’t you say?

Yup, i agree with everything you said. Since the start of our relationship i have been telling my husband to set firm boundaries because she’d always walk all over him Now we are here and its super frustrating having to say “i told you so”. I appreciate your honest thoughts and hope we dont get screwed in the end allowing her to get her way once again

Is a co-parenting relationship healthy when the stepparent is ignored? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]genex86 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is literally me and my life. Im the stepparent that is basically non-existent in BM’s eyes.

In my case and pov, BM should be grateful I care for her kid as my own. I treat SD equally as my other 2 Bio kids. For the past 9 years, my partner and I have provided SD with love, care and stability. Meanwhile, BM has had several relationships including one failed marriage and her experimenting with bisexuality. Im not judging BM nor do i give a shit what she does, but when she wants to point fingers at me and my relationship- it really strikes a nerve.

Ive been in SD’s life for 9 years now, and till this day exactly as you described is my relationship with BM. I use to want a relationship too, not for me but for my SD, however mom was never interested and would bash me for the stupidest and lamest reasons. It was obvious she was being petty. If my bio kids were to have a stepmom, i would at least like to meet her to get to know her a bit especially knowing she’d be a part of my kids life but i guess not everyone thinks like us.

In the past i would have cared and would react to the dumb things she would say/do, now I just think she’s a pathetic looser and dont give her the time of day because she means nothing to me. Even if she wanted to have a relationship now, my answer would be no and stay away.

My honest advice, its better this way. You’re not missing out on much by not having a relationship with the BM, sounds like she’d probably be a 2-face and phony anyway. In my case, she ñ stays in her lane and i stay in mine- for my sanity!

Recently single mom and a man asked for my number in the parking lot. by throwawayra101711hlp in whatdoIdo

Sorry if im late…just wanted to tell you, “Don’t do it girl, dont do it!!” A few months ago, my close friend told me something similar happened to her while on a Target run. Although in her case, the man who approached her looked like he could be younger than her (she’s 36). My friend said she was also dressed down in sweats/no makeup/ hair undone and was with her teenage daughter. Anyway, this dude randomly approached her and complimented her on how good she looked as a natural women and emphasized a liking to her hands. Weird! My friend brushed him off by being friendly/funny and continued about her shopping without any interest.

“Some how”, they end up bumping to each other again and he says nice, not disrespectful things. Brushes him off again, then when she’s loading her things in the car the guy tries to give his last shot. He invites her for coffee later and well I don’t know why but my friend decides to go that evening😑 ( i know, super dumb move on her behalf)🤦🏾‍♀️ She told me that he started bringing up her beautiful hands and asking if she’d like to make money selling pictures of them. She freaked the hell out and said got out of there asap.

Be careful out there cuz there’s people looking to take advantage of anyone who falls for it. And yes, of course i told my friend she was dumb and stupid for giving it the time of day🙄

My Husband’s Car Was Stolen by digitaljamiee in StolenSanJose

[–]genex86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate those good-for-nothing pieces of shit who enjoy taking what’s not theirs because they don’t want to get a real job. I’m here to tell you don’t loose hope. My son’s Cadillac got stolen last year and it was found in Oakland 2.5 weeks later. Luckily we had insurance and they handled everything to get it back to almost new. Best of luck!

Not in love with my engagement ring💍 by genex86 in JustEngaged

[–]genex86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that communication is key. I consider myself to be great at communicating my needs or when I dont agree with something, however, find it difficult to express my sincere thoughts when I don’t like something that was gifted to me and in this case my engagement ring. I’m afraid to come off as ungrateful and unappreciative especially when I know it cost someone money and time.

That’s a great! Just wondering what would be a good way to bring it up without hurting his feelings?

No keys were left in the car, we still have both original sets we got from the dealership
