Do you think BMs should encourage skids to have good relationships with their siblings at your home?

Or do you think that this isn't her job, because she's not our kids parent? Do you think she should be encouraging the skids to call our kids on their b-days, holidays, and to congratulate them when something big happens?

stepkid venting sites/issues

Does anyone know of some skid venting sites that are like this?

I know a lot of people here have been badmouthed on Facebook by their skids. I know that there are several pages on FB relating to stepkids hating their stepparents. I think that kids need somewhere to vent too.

What do you think about skids venting about us? Where do you think it is appropriate for them to vent, and why? Where do you think it's not appropriate for them to vent, and why?

I was doing my grocery shopping today, and I overheard a young woman (she looked like she was in her early 20s) was talking very loudly to her mother on her cell phone. We were both in the magazine aisle.

What I heard her say was unbelievable. She was talking about child support to her mother. To top it all off, the CS she was talking about wasn't meant for her or any kids she may have. It was meant for her much younger brother.

Considering adoption and how it would affect skids.

Have any of you adopted?

I had a very severe miscarriage a few years ago and neither DH nor I feel like getting pregnant again. We are thinking about adopting an orphaned baby or young child from Haiti, China or the Dominican Republic.

I really would like to do this. DH would, too. SDs would love to have a new brother or sister, and we'd get them very involved in decorating the child's room, helping us choose a name, etc.

15-year-old offers 7-year-old stepsister for sale

Apparently she went to a party, the 7-year-old tagged along because she wanted to make sure her stepsister was safe and the older stepsister offered the 7-year-old for sale to two adults and three juveniles, and the poor little girl was raped. I hope that the 15-year-old stepsister gets charged as an adult. She had to know what she was doing. And I hope that the mother of the 7-year-old stops dating the father of the 15-year-old. That way, the 7-year-old doesn't have to live in that environment.

Skids feelings and PAS/bashing from BM

We talk about PAS on here all the time, and how BMs often tell the kids stuff like "DH has SM and other kids now and doesn't need you."

I think a lot of skids might feel that way anyway. I know I felt those things as a kid.

I do think, though, that a lot of BMs make it worse by PAS. My mom wasn't (and isn't) a PASinator so I think that helped me overcome these feelings in the long run.

I don't think these feelings are always brought on by BMs. I think they do make them worse, though. What do you think?
