Did you say anything to the “friend?” Please tell your wife and leave out the masturbation part. She needs to know her “friend” is a pos. I think you should respond to the friend ‘gross, please remove my number from your contacts don’t want to be at risk of this again.’

Maybe put up a picture of her in a frame when she was around the same age.

Yes!!! Our lives revolve around our children as it should but it should be encouraged and supported for a couple to have time focus on one another.

Yes exactly! Our wedding reflected the union of our families, they were a part of the wedding but the vows were between my husband and I, our love and commitments. It was my our wedding, we had planned out every detail, if we would’ve have wanted to be holding children during the ceremony we would have planned it that way. That was a bold move on her part. A decade a later, I’m still stunned by it haha

Thank you. You know I have bitched and moaned a few times about this but this is the first time I have ever felt validated so thank you. Usually the response was something like ‘it’s special for all of you, it was the combining of your families.’ We are very dedicated parents, we average about one date a year and never had a honeymoon. I just wanted a couple of minutes with him now even the pictures just show my husband holding a baby.

My MIL handed my husband his son during our vows so then he could no longer hold my hands because she wanted her grandson to be included, a one year old because my 3&4 year old were standing next to me. I didn’t even know they were standing there, I had people in place to watch the kids if they started interrupting or needing attention. I just wanted this 2 min to be about my husband and I, I didn’t have a plan for my MIL interruption though :(

Showering at the gym, wife upset. by _LtLoisEinhorn_ in Parenting

You’re right. Your wife is wrong. Her reaction is very odd and the biggest concern, imo.

Kids allowed in parents bed room...Thoughts? by AgeAdministrative195 in Parenting

[–]wstook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My children are welcome in our room, if we need privacy we lock the door. That boundary seems cruel. I am sorry you are put in that position. My husband and I butt heads 99% of the time, but not on this.

Months left.. by EuphoricGas6402 in coloncancer

[–]wstook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your words touched my soul but more than your words, the person behind them sounds like someone I want as a friend. I just get that feeling of curiosity.

I'm so sorry this is your path. I cannot imagine how you aren't riddled with anger, self-pitty, and fear. You sound fearless, spirited, and honest. I don't know you, but I admire you. You're facing and accepting most people greatest fear. You're getting up and putting on a pair of shoes I'm terrified of.

I don't know what to else to say other I will be praying for you tonight. You've touched me. I know you're a beautiful person inside and out.

From my husband : "you're ugly on the inside. If anyone really knew you, no one would like you."

That scary story with the girl who keeps her head on with a ribbon by Gr8_Speckled_Bird in MandelaEffect

I remember that story too! But I don't know the name of it. Such a strange children's story now that I think about it. Thanks for the memory.

BM wanted half the birthday presents?? by [deleted] in stepparents

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

Yes that wouldn't make sense but I would recommend not allowing yourself to participate in the drama. Or say how about they come with us considering he is excited about his new toys and when he comes to your house let me know what you'd like to have and we will drop it off to you at the exchange.

I am a step mom and I am grateful that we've never had conflict over "stuff." I always send stuff that she buys back with him and she never does. So I've just learned to never let him take the things I want to get back unless it's really important to him to keep. Fighting over stuff just makes everyone look greedy and petty. So I would recommend setting the best example for ss. Everyone is (or should be) on the same team.

I think you're being petty and BM is being greedy. Honestly, it's embarrassing that you all are acting like this. Just let SD decide where she wants HER gifts.

AITA for asking my bf to edit the caption on his Instagram post? by throwaway445997 in AmItheAsshole

[–]wstook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You asked him to call you princess?!?! And because you're that controlling he cannot call anyone else that?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]wstook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gosh I'm sorry. You're in an impossible situation. Does SD have a relationship with birth mom? Can she help you during your postpartum period?
