[quote=Anonymous]Stepmom is the bad guy in this story. Bio moms might be bad guys in some stories. Stepmom counts pennies in presents, because she wants to get the kids to love her more. She is clearly no a mother herself, she doesn't get any dynamic. Parents don't do things for their kids for thanks. We do it out of love, we do it to see our kids open the presents they wanted on Christmas, to their faces light up. That is more valuable than the spoken thanks. I also find it hard to believe that kids didn't utter a single soft thank you while opening the presents. If they truly didn't, I suspect they are very uncomfortable around OP. I can guess it is the fact that she went to movies with them, and she resents that she and dh were not alone and she sees this as spending time on his kids who are ungrateful sons 'f.....Most mothers would love to spend time at the movies with their kids and this would not be an imposition and bean counting endeavor. I suggest to OP to reevaluate her thinking and stop what she is likely doing. Putting down her dh's kids to her dh. Stop resenting his kids for being his kids. Green doesn't look good on anyone.[/quote]
