We always say, "In intact families'...

I know we always say, "In intact families..." when talking about how children wouldn't get away with talking rudely to their elders, and how dad would support mom if she punished the kid(s) for being rude to her, how all kids have to follow the house rules, and how, in some families, the kids have discussions with their parents with both parents present.

what exactly should the decorum be between SMs and SKs?

Even if, let's say, SM is 20 and SK is 8, SM is 22 and SM is a teen, or if SM and SK are only a couple of years apart?

What should the decorum be between a SK and SM who are far apart in age?

Here's what I think for each situation I mentioned:

A) SK at 8 and SM at 20 and SK at teen years and SM at 22:

Issues with my own stepmother/how to get past the hate

Anon2009's picture

As many of you know, I've been a SD for 25 years.

I've certainly had my fair share of issues to contend with regarding my own stepmother. These include her angry outbursts towards others (I seemed to be a favorite target of hers), her attempt to PAS me against my mom, and her gossiping and saying other mean things about me when she knew I could hear her.

O/T did anyone see Dr. Phil interview Casey Anthony's parents?

I was watching Dr. Phil earlier because I wanted to watch him interview George & Cindy Anthony.

I personally thought Cindy was making excuses for Casey. I can't imagine what it's like to see your child behind bars and know that your child is facing the death penalty if she's convicted of this crime. I can't imagine what it's like But I think that if Casey didn't do it herself, she at the very least knows what went down.

What do you think?

BM lets down/fails SDs again

I think most of you know by now that BM lost custody of her children because she allowed them to get molested and moved convicted pedophiles in with her.

DH was on myspace last night and saw that she had recently posted some pics on her profile. Turns out she's back with a guy who lived with her and SDs for about a year. The kids say that this guy is not one of the perverts who touched them, but he has a pretty lengthy criminal record and they've said how just looking at him creeps them out.

For those of you with bios from a previous relationship...

What would you do if you found out that your DH or your kids SM was on here venting about your bios?

Do your bios love or like your spouse?

What do you do if your bios come to you and tell you they hate your spouse and/or when they're rude to your spouse?

If your DHs would handle the same issues the same way with their kids, do you think you'd feel better about the situation?

Divorce laws in MA are CRAZY

Anon2009's picture

I was talking with my mom today. One of my cousins on her side lives in MA and he just got divorced. He is now seeing a wonderful woman who earns big $$$$. He's also stuck paying his ex-wife alimony forever :sick:

He wants to marry this girl, but if he does, then her earnings will be calculated into the amount of alimony he has to pay his ex-wife, who is a nutjob!

Let's all write to and call our state and national senators and representatives- these laws have to change! Don't stop calling until significant changes are made!

when SM and stepkid are close in age,

How should SM and stepkid deal with that as I'm sure it must be awkward? How should stepkid deal with any negative feelings about it? What level of respect should SM be shown by stepkid-the same that stepkid would show a friend or the level they'd show to a teacher or boss that isn't all that much older/younger than them?

I was watching some of the Tudors last night. Henry VIII was married to Catherine Howard, who was 17 and a few years younger than Henry's daughter Mary. Let me say that they butter heads a lot!
