I just want to be a good mom and SM

newbiestepmom25's picture

I feel like I am doing everything wrong. DHs family keeps telling me that my 7month old is to old to keep breastfeeding. I don't think so. Breast milk is really good for him and its not hurting him plus I have started to integrate some baby food. My family keeps telling DH and I to stop being so over protective with SS5. I'm sorry I just don't think kids should be left outside unsupervised or in their room to long without being checked on and I am really serious about the car seat and seatbelt. He is not tall enough to not have the car seat.

I need some ideas of some healthy snacks I can make for the boys this summer. They don't like strawberries grapes or veggies. So if you have any ideas for hidden veggie foods let me know. I just want them to be able to have tasty and healthy snacks that I know exactly what is in them.

* we live in florida so cool snacks like healthy popsicle ideas would be great. Thanks guys.

O.T: When babies attack

newbiestepmom25's picture

My 7month old. Wow I can't believe he is 7months already. Anyways my 7 month old has started doing this attack thing. If you hold him and tell him no he will start grunting squealing and biting you well ore like gumming you with his two wittle teeth lol. But I was holding baby and he started head butting my breast and I said "no no" and he attacked me. DH was holding him and he kept throwing his bottle and DH said no and he attacked DH. He just attacks SS5 and SS10 for no reason when we put him on their laps he is quite and playful and then bam he is on the attack.

" My mom said I don't have to listen to you"

I told SS10 to let SS5 watch TV. He knows the rules only an hour a day each or two hours together and by the end of the day if u finish all chores and behave you can earn an extra hour. He acts as if he can't hear me. So I told him once more and even recited the rules. He continues to stare on so I yell "SS10 I know your ears work" He has the nerve to turns to me and say " My mom said I don't have to listen to you".

Me: SS10 this is my house and you will show me some respect

SS10: Where's dad

Me: *unplugging TV*

SS10: Daaad

Boy pubirty help!

Is 10 years old almost 11 a normal time for boy puberty? I saw SS10 pitching a tent to a shampoo comercial. I don't think he saw me he threw a pillow over himself and I pretended I was reading something. I told DH I think its time for the man to man talk.

I know this is all natural and normal it just caught me off guard and by surprise. I think of my baby .I don't wanna think of my baby one day becoming a man. I kinda think 10 is way to young I thought puberty hit around 13-16 but I guess everyone is different. Just wow.

DH's cousin from out of town is here and he wants to stop by. I don't like this cousin because he loves BM1 because back in the day they were drinking buddies and party hoppers together. I am far from a party girl so he doesn't like me. He swears I am stuck up and BM1 was just so chill and awesome. Plus since SS10 is here he is gonna be asking all bout BM2. It just irks me every time I hear the BMs names. I am just going to shake his hand say hi and go out for a while with the baby. I want to enjoy my day off. I just hope he doesn't stay until late and then want to sleep over.

Am I over reacting and being over protective?

Every time SS10 is alone with my baby he starts getting fussy. I know his cry and that is his irritated cry. I'm not trying to be bias and just assume that SS is doing anything wrong to my baby. I just get pissed when I hear my baby crying like that. SS10 has been getting on my last good nerve. He is loud, obnoxious and thinks every freaking thing is funny.

newbiestepmom25's picture

I have started couponing and using the tips I got from you my steptalk family and youtube, and friends to start living a much more cost affective life style. Its been great but my only downfall is meat.

Where do you go to get the best prices on meat? How do I freeze meat without getting freezer burn? How long can I freeze it before it goes bad?

I say I have 3 kids not 1 bio and 2 SSs

I had a SM friend over and she was asking me what do I say when someone ask me how many kids I have. I say I have three kids my SS who just turned 5 one who will be Turing 11 and my baby boy. People say my SS5 is not my kid. He is not my kid from my own womb but he is a son to me and I am the only mother figure he really has. When I was putting SS5 to bed a few nights he asks me why God didn't let me be his real mommy and why his ley BM be his mommy but BM leaves forever and I don't leave. This is the speech I gave him.
