Would any step-moms be interested in a weekly check in? I would be happy to get it going if we have enough interest.
I've noticed quite a few step moms on this board and I'm curious if anyone else feels like they could use some support?
Someday's I feel like I could use all the support/advice I can get! Step parenting is hard work and its not for everyone.

Yes it's challenging when BM runs a different household.
SS has no real rules or responsibilities at mom's house.

It can definitely be a struggle but I wouldn't change it for the world! We split 50/50 custody with her mom.

All parents give selflessly, but a step parent give and rarely "get back" until the child is older and realizes.
Last night I found a coke with my husbands name on it. The coke right next to it was his ex's name (BM) so I took a picture because I thought it was ironic. I showed the pic to SS and H and SS "oh if they only had my name then it would be the whole family" it hurt. I think he seen the hurt on my face because then he added in "oh and you and the baby too"
He didn't mean to be hurtful so I couldn't be mad, but it still hurts.
