[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, you said it yourself, it is his NEW wife. At some point along the way when you were "new" you probably treated him better. And being a step mom does not compare to being a mom.  Not to knock step moms, I just mean that if there is an involved mom, you can't compare how you are a mom to your kids vs. how the step mom is - she probably has less time with them, probably little if any alone time with them, and they are "new" to her too.

Don't get me wrong, I hope that she remains a great wife and mom, but the comparisons aren't really fair.[/quote]

OP here - no, they live with them. I get them on weekends. I agreed to it because ex-Dh was always the main caregiver. So she spends a lot more time with them than I do.[/quote]

What's wrong with you that you let your ex-DH be the primary caregiver? [/quote]

Men can't be the primary caregiver? My DH is the primary and he is an awesome dad. I bring home the money. Working full time at a stressful job does make it more difficult to be a great mom. But I'm just doing the best I can. Not many women could work full time and be supermom. I bet if we got divorced he would get custody.

For OP, I think posting on here is a good way to get your frustrations out. Ignore the nasty comments that are misguided. Do your best, that's all anyone can ask of you. You cannot be perfect so don't beat yourself up.
