So many "bonus Moms" as a lot of them call themselves fighting, drama drama drama. Man the comments and fights are entertaining. 

Love my steptalk.org blog. 

That is all.

Yes, I'm in one, but never post. I'm so afraid that my SD31 will join it and see me there. LOL 

Also, they don't really talk about the "tough" topics like we do here. They don't really get into the mini-wife stuff, etc. It's more like posting screen shots of what the BM said and what a bitch she is and on and on. None of it really pertains to me. I can't relate to the "bonus" bullshit either. LOL Bonus my ass. More like bane of my existence.

Even if I had a fakebook account, the last thing I would do is join a step parent group. Zero anonymity.

I have a fake account for my fertility support groups I'm in, so decided to take a peak into some of the Step Mom ones. 

It's SUCH a difference! I feel like the advice I'm giving these ladies is far too harsh for them to handle. 

Others I am like hunny you need to check out steptalk.org we your people! ;)

There were no online fertility support groups when I was going through it. Nice that sort of thing is available now. Good luck to you!

I checked out some other groups (one is now gone), but they were all too much like stepford steps.

When ever I hear that someone calls themselves a bonus mom I think they might be the most dysfunctional family member.

I did see one the other day where a BM posted photos of her daughters nail and toes stating "Baby girl is going to Disney with her dad and bonus mom tomorrow so I did her nails" While I admit I get this weird eye twitch when I hear or say bonus mom, it was nice that a BM was saying it.

Well, those links you provided are new groups. I havent searched for a while.

I belong to a few and some are ok with directness and honesty and some are a bit on the "BM is such a biotch and see these texts!" side. Then there are the unending "bonus this and that". Yikes. The "secret can only post here because BM will have a heart attack and go off her rocker", pregnancy announcements and wedding photos.

I am stepmother, that is all. Sometimes I and "stepping up" sometimes "step aside". But certainly not bonus anything.

I think someone said the phrase "bonus mom' once as a sarcastic joke but some people were too stupid to know that and it spread from there.

The only advantage I can see is being able to block people. I wish I could do that on here.

But otherwise Facebook is a cesspool of self important idiots
