So this is my story, sorry trying to make it short!!

I had a son from a past relationship he was 2. (So I am also a BM) I met this guy who was getting a divorce, his wife left him for another man.(November 2006 is when she left him) They have three children together. So we started dating and well let just say things were crazy with us then in August of 2007 she calls him and says I want you to come back and he didn't know what to do I told him to stay the night other wise he will never know so he did. He called me the next morning from her phone and said I thought about you last night I know it wont work with her. He was getting a ride from her at 2pm well didn't want to wait had a friend bring him back at 10am. Then almost a month later I found out I was pregnant and then we were never apart, we got married in October 2007! We had the baby June 2008, and that is when he also made the big mistake of cheating on me with her (yes one time and never again not that its OK) we moved on from that. Now this past few months she has been getting really bad. She uses the kids against him and tell him she will never accept were married and I am nothing. She says that the kids (ss3, sd6, sd7) hate it here. I know they like it just not as much at home because she is a working mother who lets say uses the kids for taxes!! She loves to work and really does nothing with the kids buys them things because she is never home. They don't like to have to listen here. I love my step children and she just don't understand. I print off worksheets to help them in school there not doing to well so I thought I would help them to as I am helping my own son who is only 4, oh no she told me not to do anything with her kids like that she will. The kids really like it though its kind of like a game to them there always saying can we play school , lol !

I just don't know anymore. What am I suppose to do really? I love my family and my kids all 5. I am 23 years old. I have two children of my own 4 years old and 10 months old. I also have the three step 3,6,7 years old. I married a man with a past and I know I never should have but I love him.

I am also a BM. My sons father and I were not together when he was born he was already with the new girlfriend. My son was born March of 2005 and there little girl was born DEC of 2005! I like him having being born with two mothers that love him so much. I know he knows I am his real mother and he only goes there every other weekend and he likes her to. I never say what can go on there. She is a hairdresser she has her own shop and since the day my son was born I have never got his hair cut I always let her do it when he goes to his dads.

I just wish there were more BM like me I guess. LOL I think it was so easy because we were never in love and together we had a kid together out of being young and stupid and hell I never take it back. With there being no feelings with us its easier. Neither care who who's with, whats going on in there life. Its just all about our son and nothing more. I LOVE THAT!!!

Don't worry about the other BM. She can't dictate what goes on in your house. Just do what feels right to you as a SM..helping them with school, whatever. Let DH handle BM. Don't feel obligated to talk to her for anything. You will be a lot happier if you just keep her and her views out of your head and out of your house.

I do not let him talk to her. As he did cheat on me with her and he lets her walk all over us..

I was gonna say, I would have a very hard time with a DH that cheated with a BM since she stays in the picture. I don't know how you forgave that. I also don't see how you prevent them from talking at all? Do you do all communicating with her? I don't know which would be worse for me, my DH talking to her or me having to if I went through that! I do not envy your situation! Sad

It's so funny we have so much in common except my H stopped letting her rule our house but it's crazy!!!! And just like you I always tell myself why can't she be like me I dont bother my ex and his new wife im happy he found someone but it has alot to do with the fact I have no feelings for my ex like you!

You are dealing with so much stuff at such a young age. My DH lied to me about how much contact he was having with the BM and I can barely get over that. I am not sure how you are doing it honestly. You seem like a very caring person and mother and that is great to hear. I would just offer that you must also be on the lookout for your and your kids happiness. If she is ruling your house you and your DH must set boundaries and never stray from them.. This will make you feel more calm and in control of your own home.
