I need some advice. I am in a relationship with a man I truly love. We are good together in all aspects, except our children. I have two older children 20 and 17. His are five and 11. My younger one lives with me. His children each live with their mothers. Yes, two previous marriages for him. The 11 year old he sees one month of the summer, which I am okay with. The younger one is my concern. He sees him every other week-end and will have him all summer. This is driving me crazy....

Just curious

I lived for 20 years divorced with two kids. Now that I have been in a relationship for 6 years and ready to be married I am unsure of what I should expect. I am a very private person. We had a situation last week with the SD. She had forgotten to give us something the day before. She told us she would be over in the afternoon to see us and look at our old pop-up to see if she wanted it. This all happened on New Year's day. She came over at noon and we were in the bedroom just resting...

I have been living with my spouse now for almost a year. We get along great. Our kids in the begining wasn't bad. They would fight like normal kids their age, but on occasion I would hear her lieing to her dad about my son so he would get into trouble. When he would tell my I told him what really happend. His response was she tends to not tell the truth sometimes. I told him than maybe you should sit her down and talk to her about what lieing does. He never did. My son is 8 and she...

This is a contiuation from my previous post. Since being in this relationship with my husband my desire for children has almost left my mind. I donot have any children and I really donot want any. My husband of course wants more, but my desire is leaving. I'm thinking it's b/c of this situation b/c I use to want them, but I'm not sure. Any advice?

I've been with my husband for 1yr, we dated for 5yrs and were engaged for 1yr. So I guess you might could say I've been with him for 7yrs. He has an ex-wife and a 14yr old. When I met him, it was obvious that him and his ex-wife did not get along well. She'd do the normal expected things like withhold his court ordered visitation, call and say cruel, demeaning things, call him names in front of his son and so forth. Year after year it kept getting worse and worse, in regards to her...

Did you/Do you have an exceptional stepfather?

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Thu, 04 Aug 2005 12:21:13 GMT

Statistics are needed for a study currently being conducted regarding the impact of stepfathers on the lives of stepchildren, specifically a positive impact. If you have or had a stepfather who had an exceptionally positive impact on your life, please email exceptionalstepfathers@yahoo.com. Your information could be used in an upcoming study.

Hi everyone....

My wife and I each brought kids into our marriage, she has a 4 year old daughter and I have twin boys which are 5 we are also expecting a newborn in January.

Her daughter lives with us my boys live with their mother...

I feel that because we're one big family things should be fair and all the children should be treated pretty much equally by us how ever she doesn't quite feel that way... I feel that no one child should get extra privs over any of the other...

problem with love and step children

feeds@yuku.com (epic) — Mon, 01 Mar 2004 20:57:59 GMT

I have 3 children. My new wife has 4 kids. I just don't feel the same thing for her kids as I do my own. i love my wife but i don't have that same burning desire to play with her kids or take them out and do things with them that i do with my own kids. is this how most people feel that have step kids? i'm just wondering because i love my wife very much and have accepted having her kids around me all the time. they want me to be their dad since they don't have one and my wife tells me...

I see a woman who didnt express herself properly for us to understand.
She never had the need to have a child, she is not fond of children, she fell in love with a man who had a child. She sacrificed herself in the name of love- gave everything to the child and forgot herself along the way. She is now exhausted mentally especially after the death of her father and has this responsibility to offer this child a good life. She doesnt HATE this kid..she never said she did..she even says...

I know what you are all going to say, but Im going to vent anyway, because this is my life. My fiance and I have lived together for over a year. He has custody of his six year old daughter, the mother of whom is out of the picture. I have been this childs mother for over a year. She's a great kid, loving and affectionate. The problem is me. My time, money, space, privacy-EVERYTHING is gone. Its all her. Everything is about her. I never wanted children and I knew this when I fell in love with...

step children

feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) — Mon, 29 Dec 2003 12:35:47 GMT

I have 2 step children 17 yr old girl almost 15 year old boy. Their dad and mom were divorced 12 years ago. Mom moved in with someone else as soon as their dad moved out. My husband and I have been together for four years . I was married for 22 years before that and my husband was killed. So I was not any way involved in the break up of his marriage. The kids were 5 and 3 when they split up. The mom and step dad are still together and the kids live with them. Their mom is very degrading...

Disciplining 16 year old

Has anyone been in the position where they found themselves doing a 180 when it came to discipling a teenager? I have not been doing what I need to do with my son. He is very domineering and malipulative and plays me like a fiddle. Most times I am either too exhausted or mentally wore out to put my foot down. I know I need to be a strong arm with him but for whatever reasons find it difficult. I am in my second marriage, my son was very young when his father and I divorced and there was a lot...

My husband and I were married a little over a year when his ex dropped off his son to live with us. he's lived with us 2 years now and i'm about ready to divorce my husband to get away from this child. he's lied about me, hit me, yelled at me, laughs at me, plays his father against me. He's told teachers on more than 1 occassion that I took his homework out of his backpack so he'd get in trouble. He threatens me with his mom saying she said he didn't have to do what i say and that she'd...

My only marriage lasted 4 years. "Jane's" children liked me at first but as time went on, they began to despised me. "He's not my real dad and why should I have to listen anything HE says?" - I was to be seen and not heard. Family counseling didn't help and needless to say, Jane said she couldn't choose me over her children (rightly so) and asked that I leave until things calmed down - I did and she filed for divorce (that's another story). Now it's happening in a new...

My ex husband has custody of our 18 year old daughter so she can graduate fr High School in May from the school she's attended since 1st grade. He's verbally abusing her and her nerves & esteem are shattered. She has had enough, and has left his home. She wants to live with me, and I want her to live with me. My new husband says that my ex should be held accountable for his behavior and that there is a legal custody agreement which he has to uphold. I don't want to send my daughter...

I have a new partner who has 3 children, two of which are teenagers and the other is 11 years old. I have two children, one of which is 16 and a "special needs" boy the other is 5 years old.
My drama is the acceptance of me and my children by my partners children, it is very slow in comming forth!
On the other hand, my children adore not only my new partner but his children too.
I know that my partners children have had up till now a lot of "free run" in regards...
