I Hate Being a Stepmom

Ladies please, please, don't just walk ...run!! I’ve just come out of another ‘Man with baggage’ relationship –Never again will I put myself through this.
I am talking from experience. I am 30+, attractive, professional woman on...

The thing I hate most about being the stepmom is that I do everthing and never get any credit . For example my oldest stepdaughter just graduated from high school and her mother came down from Texas and took all the credit for how well...

I have so much anger built up inside of me that I don't know when I will explode or who will be there when it happens, but I need to express my anger issues at my life situation right now. Where do I start....I met my boyfriend 3 years...

I have 4 stepchildren from my husband. Three Mothers are involved. When we got together I knew about 2 daughters who were teenagers living with their Mother. I am ok with 3 of my stepchildren but one of my step daughters is the devil...

I have been married for a little over a yr and my husband has a 9 yr old daughter from a previous marriage. It has been difficult for me. I was always used to being alone and doing my own thing but I know too that she was used to just...

Before anyone bitches about my story, please understand that YES, I knew what I was getting into before I got married. Stupidly, I married anyway. I knew my husband and his kids were a packaged deal - what I didn't know was how HARD...

I know that I should've known what I was getting into. At first it was ok. I honestly thought I could handle it & make a better life for my stepchildren. I couldn't understand how these stepmoms could feel the way they did. I was...

If you're not sitting down, take a seat...this will be awhile. So, me and my fiance and have been dating for a year and a half. Next month we are getting married. He's alot older then me, and that's not a problem. He has a 13 year old...

I need advice! I am a 26 year-old senior in college and I have been dating a man with full custody of his 7 year-old son. We've been dating for almost 2 years and I have come to the point where I feel absolutely crazy and guilty all of...

I recently moved in with my boyfriend KNOWING how much of a pain in the rear his 7 year old son is. I moved in with him because I love him and I thought I would be able to manage being a step mom to his kid. He has his son Friday-Sunday...

The whole thought of completely disengaging is really intriguing but in reality, is difficult to do.  Help me here, how do you do it?  How do you live in a house and completely disengage from the biggest part of it?  I really need to...

Well like most of you my story is not what I thought it would be. I met what I thought was a wonderful man who had a 9 year old son. I being a few years older and having kids in my 20's had grown daughters that where 22 and 20 at the...

I have always hated kids. I started casually seeing a guy that I knew had a kid, but I thought it wasn't going to go anywhere. It turned out that we had so much in common that we eventually were talking about moving in together. I had...

I'll give you the back ground: My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year, he is 34, and I am 21, we met at work. I knew he had full custody of his 10 year old daughter, and when we got serious I met with her. Her mother took off...

Here goes... I am 26 and I have been dating a man with kids for about 3 years. We have a great relationship overall, and he is a great person and treats me like a queen. Until the kids are in the picture. I met this man in the middle of...

I got involved with a man about 5 years ago that has two children ages 10 and 14.  I was warned by everybody how hard it was. I told myself as long as I have my own life I would be able to handle it. The truth is, there is no room...

Hello! I am new to this. I have been searching for some sort of outlet/place to vent for awhile. I am glad to see
that on here it seems I won't be judged nearly as harshly as other places I have read. This will be a long one, but I'm...

I was curious if anyone else ever feels like I do? My husband was my high school sweet heart, we broke up, both married other people and ended up divorced. During that time he had 2 children with sorry-but a piece of white trash who...
