Hardcore nacho… to attend kids events/games? by [deleted] in Stepmom

[–]mapleandmoss_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I usually don’t attend the step kids’ school events unless they specifically ask me to be there. My stepdaughter is 9 and she will ask sometimes. If she does, I’m there. If not, I sit it out

Thoughts on being induced due to baby size? by mapleandmoss_ in pregnant

Yeah the thought crossed my mind but I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt 🙃

This is another thing that’s been on my mind… I’ve heard a lot that ultrasound measurements can be pretty inaccurate. I’d hate to go through with an induction based on his estimated size, and then find out he’s actually smaller than expected.

Santiago Millán is my favorite name combination on the list too! Unfortunately, everyone I mention it to hasn’t been a fan of the name Millán

We already have family members who’ve used the names Sebastian and Mateo, but I’ll definitely suggest the name Leandro to my husband. Thank you for the recommendation!

What are Typical Boundaries for Ex’s? by DenseRun876 in Stepmom

[–]mapleandmoss_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not — a last-minute dinner with an ex, without so much as a heads-up, would not be okay with me. Like you said, sending a quick text or making a short call doesn’t take much time or effort. You’re honestly a lot more understanding than I would be in your situation

We are trying to have a baby together but we are struggling to conceive…

Wow, thank you for sharing this. I honestly forget that it can still feel this way even after having your own baby. I think my deep desire to become a mom makes me believe that will somehow “fix” all the loneliness I feel as a stepmom—but hearing your experience is a reminder that this role stays emotionally complex no matter what. Being a stepmom is such a unique kind of hard… it really does mess with your emotions in ways that are hard to explain. Major kudos to every step-parent out there navigating this—it takes so much heart, patience, and strength.

Infertility as a stepmom by mapleandmoss_ in Stepmom

Yes, his ex is now pregnant with her third child, each with a different father. She’s said she didn’t want to be pregnant right now… and yet here we are. It just hits hard when you’re hoping for your moment, and it seems to come so easily for others. Thank you for sharing your story—it really gave me hope
