[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You handled the situation well. Every parent makes mistakes step parents too. I hope you DSS apologized to you as well. You seem so nice and your DSS is lucky to have you. [/quote] Stepmom here and I agree. I generally don't flip out, but when I do, you know I'm pissed about something! Sounds like you just hit your breaking point. Look- you're human. Apologizing and admitting you made a mistake are probably the most important things that happened in this situation.[/quote] Like I said you better hope real mom is in a great mood when she here about it. I would show you a shi* move by filing in court. Verbally abuse my kid would ya? [/quote] You want to control every word said to your child by a parental figure? Then don't get divorced. Otherwise, good luck with your policing. I have two close friends who are married to men with kids from earlier marriages. In both cases, the first wife has not remarried and seems to believe that she has retained some form of control over her former husband, and gained some form over control over his second wife, by making dramatic statements like PP's. My friends, their husbands, and increasingly the kids, just blow off the first wife. In one case it took about two years after the man's second marriage, and in the other case a bit over three years. People just get sick of hearing the same overstated, confrontational complaints and threats. I know other people with neutral to positive relationships with their spouses' former husbands or wives, and first wives who have become friends with second wives, but not where these types of threats are involved. If you want your kids to think you are ridiculous, and for your ex and his new wife/girlfriend/whatever to take you at all seriously, give up the drama. [/quote] Whatever, like the other PP said when the 3rd wife calls her daughter a sh** she'll be back on DCUM... Her stepmother called my child x,y,z. You people are silly. It is never acceptable to call a child a name. And if you do keep it to yourself and your higher being. Do not feign concern and post it on a public forum for sympathy or for people to tell you what you did was right, justifiable, acceptable. It was wrong. You do run the risk of damaging the child's relationship with you and his biological parent (which is probably what you want) . Like I said earlier put on your big girl panties and kill your own f*** bugs. [/quote]
