| Any step parents here? I was just wondering if there was anyone who has step children? My fiancee and I have been together almost 5 and a half years now and he has a son who will be 6 in March. We have been together since he was just a little baby. My fiancee and his ex had a short relationship of about 1 year. She has been making this whole situation extremely difficult on all of us. Just looking for some other ladies who may be in the same boat as I, I sure could use some advice! I am now in charge of all communication between us and her since my fiancee cannot stand to hear her voice. |

| I am a step mother to 2 girls ages 13 and 11. My husband and I have been married for 4 years now. I also have 3 kids; 2 daughters ages 18 and 14 and a 16 year old son. We have a lot of issues with our kids. Not neccessarily with their mother though, more with his mother. Grandma wants to control everything that goes on with his girls like she did when he was married to their mother. But, I love his girls and we do the best we can by all of the kids. One thing I will not do however is bow down to the pressure from his family and have a baby with him. We have 5 kids between us. If we manage to raise them right, we will be blessed enough. You are welcome to PM if you need to talk. |

| My bf (of 2 years) has 2 kids, they are older though, 16 yo and 13 yo. Its tough... the toughest part though is the ex, not even the kids, sounds like you have the same situation. She makes everything into a HUGE deal. Its really annoying!

| Thanks you guys. I definitely have the most problems with the ex. My fiancee refuses to talk to her. She likes to play games and takes advantage of his family any chance she gets. It makes me sick! Last year I "ruined" her family and this year I am the best thing my fiancee has had. She's a total head case and I am tired of being nice! |

| I'm not a step parent but can sympathize with your situation. I'm sure it's difficult but just remember as difficult as it is for you... it's more difficult for kids caught in the middle. As much as I'm sure you'd like to strangle the woman, I'm sure you won't because you know who the real victim will be and it's not her, it's that little boy. Just take a deep breathe and say I'm doing this for (what is his name?). And of course.... come on here to vent! |
