[quote=Anonymous]Here's the bottom line in this situation - and not just OP's stepkids, but all children of divorce.

These kids are in the situation they are in because adults who could not keep a marriage together put them there. It is not their fault that they have two homes, two families and thus two piles of presents. I would bet my bottom dollar that they would trade all of the gifts and other crap for a stable home that does not have them shuttling back and forth, and dealing with parents/ step-parents who turn them into a competition.

OP, you need to get over yourself. This is not about you. You and their father are supposed to be the adults in this situation. I'm sorry you feel "sad" and so put upon, but this is the situation you walked into when you got yourself involved with a divorced father with young children. Their needs, happiness, emotions and sense of security come before yours. Buck up and wait it out til they turn 18; then you can go to town with your wallowing.[/quote]
