I Am a Childless Stepmom

My boyfriend and I live together, we see his son every week. He stays with us 2 to 3 days out of the week and during those times he is generally a well behaved little boy, but does have his tantrums ("hissy fits" is what I cal them, I.E...

Eight years ago my husband and I met while working; his son was 7. I didn't meet his son right away which I respected and I wasn't ready for it anyway. Probably a year and a half later I met the son and then at a baseball game I met his...

Fast forward 3 years later, and after spending a horrific Christmas and New-Years with my over-protective husband and his coddled 9yr old daughter, I was ready to call it quits. No really – finish and done! No more bending over...

I don't really like kids in general. Sounds harsh doesn't it? But i'm serious. I am not a child person, and I am not ready to be responsible for one. BUT my partner has got a 3 year old daughter that I have grown to accept as a part of...

Because I know no one else does. It's a hard road. And usually a thankless job (to varying degrees). I love my stepkids and couldn't imagine life without them- but life with their mom (and knowing she is the 1st to my 2nd) ....is...

My husband and I got married late last year and were lucky to have bought a house this year. My stepson who turned 7 this year finaly moved in to our home. His mom, who had been with different men after my stepson turned 2, is very...

I have been with my husband for 5 years now. He has 3 kids, one 10 one 8 and one 6. Let me start by saying that I have had a relationship with them from day one. I also need to admit that my now husband and i started our relationship by...

I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. He was in the middle of a divorce when we got together. He has 2 children with his now ex-wife. When I met the children they were 3 and 5. I am 32 and have no children of my own. I come from...

I am not a stepmom but I am lucky enough to have one.  There is no greater gift than a woman stepping into your life who has chosen to do so.  I was born to my biological mother but my stepmom chose my father and I.  That is a...

In the beginning there was a newly divorced woman who enjoyed the tranquil peace of her single life. Husband no. 1 was a real treat - Mr. Serial Cheater! Five years, seven mistresses and buckets full of tears later, I chose to end the...

My partner and I have been together for two years, lived together for 1. He has a beautiful 5 year old little boy called Kai. I've always put a lot of effort, since day 1, into making sure that Kai and me have a good relationship and...

Im not really sure where to start here so here it goes..... I married my husband this past summer after being together for 4 years.  About 2 months after dating we both found out that he had a son (surprise), after the paternity we...

I am a new step mom, and I love it, I actually met my hubby over the phone then 4 months later met him and his 2 girls and we been together since. being an instant mom is great, since I am in my 30's and have no kids of my own.The...

First off, I'd like to mention that it seems like all the posts I have read from stepmoms have been negative and bitter. I am not writing this to complain about how unfair it is to be a step mother and how the skids are so...

Hi, i am a step parent to a four year old boy - i have been with his father for almost two years, met my ss 16 months ago and now live with his father and we have him on weekends.

Before I get to our first counselling session last week, I want to fill you in (as briefly as possible) on how married life has been thus far…
Veruca was 5yrs old when I met No. 2 and 6yrs old when we got married. That first year of...

I am a childless step-mom of a 6 yr old girl, my husband is amazing, but I can't shake the jealousy and cringing feeling I get when she thinks she is all that and getting his attention.
 
We have been married for 3 1/2 yrs...

So this is how my story begins. I met and married my husband over 8 years ago. Today is actually the anniversary of when we met 9 years ago. I didn't know he had kids until my feelings were lost in him but decided his love was worth it...

My step Daughter is my world....my everything. I met her when she was only two and now she is four. Her bio mom was never in the picture much....she was a drunk and moved away when she was very young. The first year of getting to know...
