I am ready

youngstepmomma's picture

So I think after months and months of mind searching I have come to the conclusion that I am ready for a baby, but I am unsure of how to bring this up to FH. I also am not sure how SD3 will take it. Since she is 3 it is hard for her to understand how life changing this would be for her. She is an only child now and I don't want her growing up resenting me or a sister/brother. I also know that FH has reservations about it, which makes sense, but I don't know how to not get mad about his less than exstatic attitude.

Baby mania

I have noticed that so many people around me are getting pregnant. It is wonderful that so many people are blessed with the miracle of a little one. However, I can't help but to fel jealous. I am a great step mom, and I know I would be a great mom, but I feel like I have to wait for a baby of my own. I feel like I get the short end of the stick since I don't get to experience the miracle of pregnancy. There is no real reason why I can't have a baby. I am perfectly healthy, I can afford it, and BM's drama is finally being handled. But I still feel as if having a baby is asking too much.

BM is a crazy you know what

How is it that BM can be so crazy and bitter that she would try to convence herself that FH has no custody of SD3? In fact, FH has shared both physical and legal custody yet she just says that SD visits. Why is it so hard for her to admit that she is not this perfect mom? I swear this women is crazy! So new drama now lol of course! Now she is saying that FH and I tell SD bad things about her and he boy friend. She believes that because SD hates living with them. She never wants to see her mom, she even tells the day care lady to take her to Daddy.

BM reached a new level of pathetic

So BM with the security blanket of her BF is claiming that she will call the cops on FH if he ever calls her at work again. Short history, BM started calling at work. She is an administrative assistant with lots of time and FH is a contractor with little time to talk, meaning he can talk for no more than 5 minutes at a time. Anyways, for a while she was calling him at work and he would call her back.

Mom knows best

On Father's Day FH and I went to pick up SD3 in the morning. Once we got there BM was so bitchy about the date and time of my sister's wedding (she had already told us that we would not have SD that day since it is during her week). I didn't appreciate the tone that she took about it and the way that she referred to me as "her", not by my name or by actually addressing me since I was RIGHT there. After a few questions we realized she was trying to ask us to switch her days, BM's mom's birthday is this Saturday so in exchange for that we would get SD for my sister's wedding.

How hard is court?

I really want to go to court due to the fact that in the last year BM has had two CPS reports out on her. One was her leaving SD (2 at the time) in her apartment alone this happened about a year ago. The second one was recently SD3 come home with a cigarette burn. The burn is pretty deep leading me to thinking bad things so we called CPS who told us to call the police. This incident is still being dealt with. Anyways, like I was saying I really want to go to court and money is not an issue, however, I was wondering how hard it is to get custody?

The positives and negatives of 50/50

FH and I have SD3 50% of the time. I adore having her so much, but she is a handful so at the end of our week (we do week on week off) we are always ready for a rest. By having SD only 50% it lets us still have time for vacations and alone time. However, BM is a crazy! I would enjoy the situation so much more if I was not scared for SD. BM has left SD alone in an apartment with the neighbors watching her from their apartment SO SCARY. Thank goodness that FH just happened to check on SD that day. The most recent stunt that BM has pulled was claiming that SD's burn was an accident.
