have only ever tolerated me for the past 9 years, the younger one more than the older one. They would call (and only very infrequently to the house or only to dad at work) and never want to talk to me, only address holiday cards to dad, etc, always treated me with little or no respect. They came to visit 2 or 3 times in the past 9 years, never staying long and generally treated me like I wasn't there. Their dad always paid his support on time and thank goodness the younger one just got married and now the support is finally over and done with. When they called and only wanted money or a co-signer for a car (which dad wouldn't do either of) little did they know that if they would have treated me a little better I could have gotten them anything they wanted from their dad! You catch more files with honey than vinegar, the old saying goes.

Dear Stepdaughters..
The reason you did not get college paid for and new cars was NOT because I am a bitch...it was because you got child support until you were 21 and instead of saving any of it you blew it on silly things like clothing, CDs, the latest cell phone, etc. Oh, and emailing your dad and telling him you won't talk to him until he divorces me won't work; we will be married 9 years this year and I don't foresee a divorce any time soon. BTW, you both should really lock your MySpace pages...the things I find out!
Your Stepmom (who is NOT wicked)
My stepdaughters used to get gift cards...
they are now 21 and 24; since they never sent thank you notes or even bothered to send a Christmas card, they will no longer get the gift cards, just a Christmas card this year. They will probably feel slighted, but I don't care; if you can't take the time to at least call your dad and wish him a Merry Christmas, you don't deserve anything!
