Step Families Support Group
Traditionally, a stepfamily is the family one acquires when a parent enters a new marriage, whether the parent was widowed or divorced. This community is focused on many of the relationships and issues that may arise within stepfamilies where you may find answers from some members and you may help other members with their questions.
does any one else ever feel that for every step they take forward that they also take a couple backward.
my step children are adults...not that you would know it most of the time....i have persevered with them for the last 2 years, the lies, the stealing all of the crap....then i thought i had made a break through...i thought i was making some headway...but no....my step daughter couldn't get her own way, she wanted to borrow the car but we had soemthing on so she couldn't have it...she had to catch the bus home....we could have dropped her off on the way but she would have had to wait while we finished getting ready...she had a tantrum most 2 yr old would be proud of and stomped out of the house...i tried to call her about a family event this weekend but she didn't answer...i left a message for her....then i get home and find a message from her telling me that she isn't talking to me and she wont be coming to her nephews birthday on saturday so she wont need a ride.
i sometimes wonder if it is all worth it...if i do this shit just to torture myself...then i am reminded how much i love my man!!!!

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...
Sounds like a nightmare. I'm not there yet and i hope i'll never have to be. My partner's little girl is only 3 and a half and he's very good at dealing with her toddler tantrums, not that she has many.
Very good advice from not the boss. As frustrating as it might be when your sd is being selfish and irrational, I'd just let her get on with it. Certainly do not give in to her..eventually she'll be the one that has to come back to you because, by the sounds of it, she's not mature enough to actually deal with serious stresses.
Furthermore, you should be praising yourself. You' obvioulsy do love your man as you've said so a couple of times and that's really magical. I also think that if this wasn't going on in our lives then we'd just have something else to complain about/ stress us out. Life is always so hectic that almost everyone has something tiring, trying and frustrating to deal with.
Good luck anyway and hope your sd soon realises that her attitude isn't going to get her far.
