Drivel. Not reading a word more. It only took one paragraph. She cannot be a SM, it reads like a BMs wet dream.

and in the first few paras she seemed to be suggesting that step mothers should be contributing financially towards their partner's spawn.  I never have, and couldn't read any further with the first article I was so disgusted. 

Total cack. Has clearly drunk the social media ‘bonus mom’ bullsh*t & wants to ram it down as many throats as possible. Gag 

Wow, thanks for the free publicity. It’s good to know this is a place where people bash other people’s hard work when they’re trying to be kind and make a difference. I hope you all don’t stumble across a place where others do this to you.

If you weren’t married to someone with kids, you might be getting your nails done every two weeks. But now sometimes that money might need to go toward gymnastic classes or guitar lessons instead.

What a crock of shite! I stopped reading that tripe at that point. MY money NEVER needs to go toward ANYTHING skid-related. Period.Dot. The sole exception would be if DH was flat broke and the skid was starving. I would not deny that basic need. Gymnastic classes, guitar lessons, cell phones, lip piercings, green hair, designer ANYthing... None of that is a NEED. That jackwad is completely delusioonal.

I have to say, I agree with some of her points in the second article about harmful things stepmothers do.  I did some of them and I regret it now, it wasn't helpful. 

*runs and hides*

My husbands exwife stole money out of personal savings accounts of my husband during the divorce, she bled him dry to fund her “living the high life lifestyle”. 

She appears to be struggling financially and has guilted her adult daughter to pressure daddy to pay money indefinitely. So if she wastes all that money which was to care for her kids and these kids are left with nothing, does according to babbling blonde means any of my hard earned retirement money should go to skids to enjoy when they have referred to me as a stranger?? Of course not!! That’s absurd 

if skids are so pathetic and don’t make an effort to get a job, should that mean i should fund their lifestyle? Of course not.

often skids come in with the war martyr complex and seek to destroy their stepparents relationship at all costs..

Babbling blonde does not take into account that everybody’s situation is different, and that men and women’s brains are biologically hardwired to work differently. She does not take into account toxic in laws, or dealing with people with personality disorders. She does not take into account the extreme stress we can all endure, and that family dynamics are very different if there are one or two children vs five or six kids (I’m not saying more is more difficult don’t blast me for that, I’m just saying different. One difficult skid can be way more difficult than six kids). 

Nowhere does it mention holding the bio mum accountable financially for her kids. The blame is laid on stepmum instead.

So if bio mum got a massive divorce settlement and alimony and child support to financially be responsible to care for “HER” bio kids, but chooses not to because she is a hcgubm, narcissist, pas aggressor, personality disordered etc, she instead keeps that money to go on shopping sprees, get her nails and hair done, buy designer goods but lets hers kids wear clothes and pants with holes and rips in, refuses to buy school supplies but instead tells the kids its because daddy doesn’t give money when the reality is daddy is the only one with a job giving money to pay for this, why on earth should a stepmum be responsible for these costs. 

How about holding these bio parents responsible instead of passing the blame onto stepparents who “by law are not financially responsible for skids ever!!”

my husbands exwife has kept the monthly child support payments and guilted eldest sd23 to care for sd14 after kidnapping them 6 yrs ago and played the innocent game. She has not worked in 25 yrs but instead expects exhubby to pay for everything for the kids. She does not see herself at all responsible and these skids guild and manipulate daddy for money constantly, they are never appreciative whatsoever. 

In a couple of years when both my toddlers are in fulltime school, i will have finished my university studies and be working fulltime, me and my husbands income will be significantly higher and especially me working overseas where my currency  is 3 times more than hubbys country, our way of life is higher, no skid will guilt or manipulate me or hubby into giving them more money because we live a better quality of life. 

That better quality of life exists because i got off my arse to get a job, because i am from a western country that has a higher valued currency. My kids will live a better higher quality of life but no skid will guilt their half siblings for this. Its the nature of having parents from different countries, all people are different..

i’m proud to say any of my retirement/superannuation savings are strictly to be split equally with my bio kids only... i stress my skids do not contribute to my quality of life, instead they significantly contribute to me not having a quality of life

lets all read babbling blondes post when step child reaches their kids to late teens. More than likely she will end up a regular poster 

I read one sentence and laughed so hard I just could not even read more.

Apparently after marrying a man with kids I might have to sacrifice my manicure for skids gymnastic classes. Say what???

First of all why marry a man so broke that he needs my money for kids classes? Second of all why marry a man so my life style would get worse than before? Third of all why isnt it moms and dads responsibility to pay for kids classes? Why is it mine all of a sudden?

Sure some women are desperate and take on destitute men and then support them and the kids. But that’s not the norm. Most women wouldn’t enter marriage with that kind of nonsense. Make your life worse, not better? What for? Most certainly I’d stay single. WTF
