This is the hard part about being a stepmom: you can give 125% to have the kind of relationship with the kids that a fraction of that effort would earn a parent.  And still get nothing but a could shoulder or worse from the kids.  I met my DH years after his ex left him, waited 4 years to marry him so his daughter would be his focus until he graduated, and have gone out of my way to be extraordinarily kind and welcoming to his ex, for whom he does a huge amount of favors.  To his daughter I have been supportive, kind, attentive, and respectful of her need for time with her dad.  And I have gotten nothing but nastiness from the ex and chilly politeness from my stepdaughter coupled with insults and bitching over social media (that she keeps public) and Nast comments at our wedding.  I have gone above and beyond and still get a shit sandwich.  There is no relationship at all between effort and reward.

Some kids just don't want a step-parent relationship, and that's that.  It's like trying to date someone who doesn't want a girlfriend.[/quote]
