I may require your cutting services... I just realized she most likely took pictures of herself with DD... If she did, they'll be on FB. I'm not friends with her so I can't see if this happened. DH said she had her phone out while she was sitting there.
wow so not cool.
My SS's mother took pictures of DD at SS's birthday party last month. I got pretty irritated and MH immediately called her after and said do not share those photos with anyone. I don't trust SS's mom to not one day go against MH and go along with MIL (see confession above...). I don't want my daughter involved with any of this sh!t and I'm not exactly a good sharer, either. 
I'd like to add that I don't put pictures of SS on my Facebook for the same reason. I'm not going to post pictures of other people's children on the Internet. 

DSS's biomom hasn't seen him in over a year and calls once every other month or less. I share pictures of him because he is more mine than hers. She gave birth to him but that's it.
definitely understand that! You are his mother role, and have every right to. I was trying to say, my DSS's mom shouldn't be posting pictures of my baby and I'll do the same for her. With a batshit crazy MIL looking for anything to get to us, we shouldn't without each others permission.  

I don't know how you do it! I would greatly struggle if I were a 'typical' stepmom and had to share more often AND deal with a crazy MIL. My inlaws despise DSS's biomom so don't cause sh!t.

Mel, I think you don't know the definition of POS, because you are NOT one. At all. Your kids are lucky to have you and your DH.

As far as religion goes I think the reason I am religious as an adult was my choice. My parents raised us to find out for ourselves and make the decision for ourselves. We went to church as a family and in high school we went to religion class, seminary, during the week. I'm not going to lie, I had a couple of semesters where my attendance was less than stellar. It was during that time that I really tested out what I had been taught. I read the Bible and Book of Mormon for the first time by myself and I prayed a lot. I feel in my heart that it is true. Not everyone believes the same as I do but I understand that we all have the right to choose. My life isn't perfect but I love where I am and the people I have around me.

My FFC, I am REALLY having a hard time liking my Grandma right now, my Mom's mom. We celebrated my Grandpa's 80th birthday a week ago and she has been continuing to raise a ruckus. She said that it was only his second birthday party ever. Ever! She then went on bashing his parents about how they lived and on and on. Um, he left home at 20 for military service and a mission for our church. They've been married over 50 years, wouldn't it be HER responsibility to throw him a birthday party? She is just trying to get attention and I am really sick of it.

In other news I am making sugar cookies today and I am SO EXCITED!!!!

I vow to help DD grow up to feel like a beautiful person no matter what...but I don't know how. As I actively try to downplay physical appearance, I find myself evaluating her physical appearance, fixing her up for maximum cuteness! Right now she looks mostly like me so she'll likely have a rough patch in her teens. My mom valued beauty over all the things and when I fell in the ugly duckling pond she would make incredibly hurtful comments. I obviously won't do that but I don't know to walk the line between helpful hints and promoting inner beauty. I hope I don't make her feel like she needs to be fixed. So I kinda hope she grows up pretty to save her a lot of the painful insecurity I have. But then I realize that comes with a host of other issues. I know I shouldn't have an opinion on it because it shouldn't matter, but I do.
