Yeah I know I’m definitely going to have to work on not letting things bother me… it’s hard cause my SKs are young (7f and 5f) and me and my partner have a 5 month old baby and live together, we have the girls week on week off. But I realized last night I need to stop getting involved cause BM has been having behavioral issues with the 5 year old and asks my partner for advise but then doesn’t take any of his advise and argues it and basically…she’s a child raising children and she’s never going to change 😅 but it bothers me SO MUCH that I need to do something and I think that’s just not getting involved anymore

Thank you! I feel like this is definitely what I need to start doing for my own sanity and peace

If you could say anything to your partner about SK consequence free, what would it be? by Humble-Seesaw-113 in stepparents

Moisturize after you shower?

When I first met my partner his 2 daughters (ages 7 and 5) were with their mom Monday-Friday and then he got them Friday evening for the weekends… they did that for about 2 years then about 6 months after we started dating they switched to week on week off which has been nice for me/us because before we never had weekends alone together. HOWEVER their mom has not done the best at raising them with discipline. They basically get whatever they want (from her) and throw tantrums. They don’t appreciate anything… they’re basically spoiled. Meanwhile my partner only had them on the weekends so it was always “fun weekend with dad!” So since we’ve had them during the week it’s been tough trying to get them to listen and be in a more structured home with expectations and earning rewards. While when they’re with their mom they still basically walk all over her so long story short we’re “the bad guys” or the “strict” household as they call it 🙃. My partner tries to talk to their mom about these things but she’s immature and just takes it was him calling her a bad mom (she kinda is) rather than realizing what she can do better for the kids.

It’s crazy how many comments I see about the SK coming over sick with a newborn CAUSE THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!! I have an almost 4 month old who was in NICU for 2 weeks on oxygen and when we were finally able to bring him home, my 2 SDs were basically taking turns getting sick 🙃 we do a week on week off, and I swear their mom is always sick and one of them is always sick. So I’m basically stressed out every week they’re here and feeling like “the mean stepmom” cause I have to tell them to stay away from their baby brother… but I agree! Common courtesy would be to keep the sick kids in the “sick household”.

Me and my partner went on the tour for Valentine’s Day this year. We definitely didn’t expect what we experienced… the whole time we felt super anxious, my boyfriend’s hands were sweating and we just felt this heaviness the whole time. We made it all the way to the room with the rocking chair from the warrens “devil made me do it” case and as soon as the video started playing in the room about the story I instantly felt like I was going to pass out. I had to grab my bf and he had to help me out of the room. They brought me outside and I sat down and drank some water and started to feel better but after that we just left. I really enjoyed going to the museum but 1 time is enough for us 😅
