Be happy that the stepmom there is respecting
your wishes. She could very easily have said, "You're 18, you decide." Or "This is my house, my rules."
Instead, she did the right thing, which was to play by the rules YOU play by at your home and they do not sleep together so... what's your gripe? Just that she said she didn't care? I don't get it.
Dear stepmom
Excuse me dear stepmom but kids don't actually get their child support...Divorced women use that money to support that child; you know put a roof over their head, food, clothing, medical care, sports, school books, etc..all the things a parent is supposed to do even once they are divorced from the father of their children. If your husband (their father) is too cheap to pay for the college education of his children that is his and your fault (and yes that does make you wicked). Please don't try to blame the kids. And no I'm not divorced and the father of my children still live together and support our children together, I'm just not that dumb.
My stepmom, rest her soul
used to love to have my child visit (we are talking in 60s/70s and so) as did her mother who visited them quite a bit. She always talked about how my son loved to be around her mother, her mother quilted, broke the beans in the summer as did my son right along with them. The stepmom only in say 14 years or so (they first took him home with them, my dad and his wife when my son less than 6 months old) that my son acted out on her- at a grocery when she had bought him something and he wanted more. She was mortified that he would have done this. She said he never did this again as he got his privilges taken away. The kids now are certainly in a different place then when mine growing up and I think the Man above for allowing me to raise my children then, not now.
reminds me of the stepmom posts
everybody likes a reward
Best wishes
to all my cyberfriends here for a great New Year. Some have had a great year, some not so good...wishing us a prosperous New Year in all aspects of life, the strength to overcome all struggles that are being faced, and a light at the end of...Peace...for each and every one!
What wishes are yours should
remain yours. My dear aunt is elderly but that does not mean she will die before me or her son. She has told me that she does not wish an open casket, no funeral. Those wishes, even though they would not be mine in her case, are her wishes. It is not up to anyone (if they are of sound mind) else to say what kind of funeral a person should have if they have stated their wishes and made it known ahead of time.
Best wishes!
I too tried for 10 years to get pregnant before I had my son. I will keep my fingers crossed for you.
It sure sounds like you are pregnant to me! Missing period and sore, swollen breasts are pretty good indications. If you have missed your period for 2 months, you should go see a doctor anyway.
I am praying that you are. Please let us know! :-)
Best wishes for your sister's
speedy recovery. Not a nice diagnosis especially at this time of year, but hopefully prayer is the answer. I don't know you, but will think positive for you. I think it is great that you have come here for support, and I think you'll find that the people here will be very supportive. God bless!
Twisted Wishes
I have done this before and it was always so fun. You make a wish...the next person grants it, but with a twist. Here's an example:
I wish I had a million bucks!!
Your wish is granted, but where are you going to put all those deer????
Get it? LOL , So my Wish is:
I wish I had some chocolate!
Best wishes for your fur-baby
I haven't kept up so I don't know what the diagnosis is, but my diabetic cat, who was on death's door in DKA a little over 4 years ago, is now snuggled next to me. I never would have thought back then that he'd still be with me today, but he is. I had to finger-feed him all-meat baby food for about 4-6 weeks while he recovered and freaked out while I learned to blood glucose levels and adjust to his insulin needs.
He's now even become a seasoned traveler (considering he has to be given insulin injections every 12 hours and I can't leave him) and has gone on numerous beach trips, mountain trips, Civil War reenacements and Scottish Highland Games. He thinks he owns the RV now. :-)
You'll know when it's time and your kitty may surprise you and take you way past when you thought it would be.
Best wishes to you - I hope you get the help you need! (nm)

Great pic and thanks for the wishes, I
know we can ALL use them! Happy New Year to all.
My MIL is okay, but she wishes I was an orphan -sm
boy she is/was so jealous of the time I spent with my mom. I would get H-e-l-l for going up to be with my parents when my mom was still alive. Now that she is dead (4 years now) she could care less that I spend time with my dad and brothers. Granted I don't go up as much now and the kids had more fun with my mom as she was very outgoing. It was a really pain to deal with, I tried to keep my trips secret from her or tell her at the last minute as I was sick of the grief. DH stuck up for me but that did not matter. Going up for 5 days after Christmas (spending Christmas at in-laws), not a peep, just, oh, that will be nice for you. But I know it still annoys her that she has to share the kids with someone else, though I know she is quite happy now that she is the only grandmother and odds are my kids won't remember my mom (much) as they were 4 and 6 when my mom died. Though I do try to keep her fresh in there memory with pictures and remind them of things we did together as I'd hate for them to forget the fun times they did have. My youngest misses her the most I think because she doesn't remember as much, sad.
In my home, I have wishes too, but I also...
have a husband whom I care about and having a living animal in the house that a husband does not want is a pretty major thing. I can see picking a bedspread that he hates, but an animal seems huge to me, that's all. Clearly, everyone thinks that I am wrong, but it is just my opinion. I guess I should already be aware that people here like opinions only as long as they match their own.
I second, uh third, well, fourth, whatever all the good wishes. nm

My heart and best wishes go out for Iowans
Can't get my mind off the people in Iowa. So much destruction everywhere. Amazing stories of how people survived while their houses ripped off the foundation while they survived in the basement. I look around at my own space here and can't imagine it gone within minutes. I've lived in earthquakes and hurricanes, but I don't think I could take tornados. Wishing everyone in Iowa and all the "tornado" states the best.
My best wishes to Katie Holmes
I read tonight that Katie Holmes is trying to leave Scientology. It was an article DH showed me and it stated that she was trying to escape the Scientology compound and a couple of scientologist guards caught her climbing out of a window and they brought her back. My heart goes out to her. I wish her all the best.
BTW, just as a side note reading all this info it says that woman are not allowed to breast feed their children and the babies must be fed a home-brewed baby formula created by L Ron Hubbard. Is it just me or is that strange. Especially since the guy was a Science Fiction writer and not a physician.
Gives me goosebumps.
Good luck to Katie and Suri and I hope she gets the help she needs to escape. I think Katie Holmes has a lot going for her and that Suri is cute as a button. They deserve a good life.
Powerful post, made me cry....Best wishes!
Congratulations! Brave step you took! Best wishes (nm)

Have an appointment with GYN oncologist one week from Friday. Thanks for the well wishes. sm
I am hoping for the best myself. I am hopeful that whatever it is, is in the early stages, as we had been following this cyst I had removed for 3 years and it was not suspicious until it just started changing appearance and removal was recommended. Thought after removing it I was home free, but guess not yet. I do know that cancer is no longer a death sentence and hopefully with a hysterectomy it will all be gone. I am just praying that it has not spread anywhere else. I'll be 42 years old tomorrow!!! Heck of a birthday present!
Stepdaughter calls me "SM" (stepmom), daugher calls me mom. nm
