I have a step daughter, and she annoys me! I have talked to her explaining about her dad's health and still does not seem to care that her father is dying! She doesn't call him (even when he was hospitalized), she only comes to see him one weekend a month. She is supposed to come for a week each month in the summer, but always manages to throw a tantrum and go home early. She is sixteen, so it's not like she doesn't understand what is going on. Then to top it all off, one of her friends came to visit while she was here and told me that AJ cries all the time cause her dad is sick. How fake is that? If she is so sad and worried about her dad, why doesn't she try to spend as much time as she can with him? She even refused to go with us on vacation because her friends birthday party was that weekend. I try so hard to be super nice to her when she is here thinking that if she gets her way all the time she will come more often and see her dad. I don't know what else to do...am I just an evil stepmother???

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
when my mum had cancer, i was 11,12,13,14 and nearly 15. for the most part, i was kind, loving, caring and looked after her. but sometimes i just couldnt deal with it - i thought if i went owt partying with my friends and avoided conversations abowt my mum then it wasnt really happening. at these parties however, usually i couldnt stop thinking abowt my mum and i cried alot. after a while i just realised how stupid i was being, and tried not to avoid the ill issue. im thinking ur stepdaughter might be kinda like me - thinking if she distances herself and doesnt think abowt it then it wont hurt.x x
