[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hugs to you , OP.

You are doing right by them.

YOU are their mom.

No sweet talking hussy no matter how many cookies, treats, and toys she bribes them with can change that.

You are in this for the long haul she's only in it until your ex gets bored and replaces her.[/quote]

I am not OP, but this made me smile haha.

It's true OP, they share with you because they TRUST you.  They trust you won't get jealous or made at them because they had fun.  That's a wonderful thing and means you are faking it really well.  That's just what they need.  You are their mom, their mama, their mommy.  Nothing will ever replace that.  Ever.  It might not be the same, but that doesn't mean it's not also awesome.  The best way you can love your kids is to encourage them to have a great relationship with their father and step-mother.  They might not see it now, but as they get older they will see so clearly how hard that must have been and it will make them love you more.  My mother did this for me, and at 35, it's still one of the greatest gifts she's ever given me.  She put her own hurt aside so that I could be open and welcoming to the love my father gave me.  Because of this I have great relationships with both of my parents as an adult.  I didn't really understand how hard this must have been for her until I got married and had my own child.  Now I see it and it makes me love her even more.

Thanks for posting this.  I was finding this thread super depressing in terms of how many hussy/whore/keep your kids away from their dad posts there were.  I think it's wonderful that OP is putting her hurt aside and being the bigger, more mature/adult person, even if she has some totally natural human jealousies.  And I think it's great that her kids have a good relationship with their stepmom, even if the relationship between their stepmom and dad did not happen under the most ideal of situations.[/quote]
