[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. Here's my assessment:

1. Start even just pretending that you care about your own kids. You can't be a quarter-time parent to 3 young kids. You want 50% of weeks off entirely, and then to mix in some other kids with yours on those 50% of weeks so it's more like they get 25% parenting time. That's 25% to share among 3 preschoolers!!

2. Stop expecting credit for things that you didn't do. You expect some sort of credit for moving to be with your new husband (!) when he has school aged children and you don't. You act like his ex is oh-so-unreasonable to not allow his children to switch school districts so he could move in with you, before acknowledging that the only reason you allowed it yourself is that your kids are too young to even be in school.

3. Start accepting responsibility for what you did. You had an affair. His kids know. There are no "two sides to the story" when you work with their dad for years, then the parents separate and you're married within a year. When you all have kids. That's just poor judgement all around, no other way to see it.

4. Start preparing for your children to realize your lack of character. Yes, they will start to ask questions soon enough. No, you can't silence your step-children.

5. Stop the entitlement. Yes, your new-husband-who-was-married-to-someone-else-a-year-ago's parents will not be shelling out the same level of love and attention and gifts to the children of the woman he had an affair with as they do to their own grandchildren. Deal with it.

6. Grow up. Sadly, there are a bunch of innocent kids mixed up in all of this selfishness and dysfunction. Hopefully your new husband's ex has a bit of sense so at least two of the kids might end up vaguely well adjusted at the end of all of this.

Good luck to your kids.[/quote]

Oh, and I forgot one of the best parts - that you seems to seriously expect his tween/teen kids to stop their lives, give up their activities so they can tag along to your kids' preschool activities to watch them fingerpaint.

I really hope you're not a real person. It's sad to think that there are people as selfish and clueless as you in the world, and that they might be parents.

Please, please don't have any more kids.[/quote]
