YES, I am a step mom.I am 27years old and my step son is 20. He moved in with me and my husband and everything was good in the beginning.I also have a 10 year old daughter.Anyway he didn't like to take out the trash,he didn't like to wash dishes, clean his room or nothing. One time he used the bathroom in the sink. He stole about 40 of my dvds and traded them in for some playstation games.I took that playstation and tore it up. It's so much more I could say but Iput his *** out.

i was a step child. not easy on anyone. maybe if parents look at it from the childs view alot would be easier. i had 2 step moms and 2 step dads. my parents were so nice they got remarried more then once lol. and no i didnt hate all my step parents. i still call my stepdad dad from my moms 2nd marriage. and she remarried after him. i even asked him to give me away at my wedding. and yes i still have my real father in the picture. you are the ones comming into the childs home they are the ones having to learn to share their mom or dad with strangers. one thing i hated more then any thing was when my father told me i had to call my stepmom ( mom) to me i felt that tittle was something that had to be earned. i mean i called my mom mom but she gave birth to me and my dad i call him dad cause he was the one that paid my way in life showed me a firm hand when needed and kisses when i needed them. but my stepdad was my dad he was the man that stood by me thru thick and thin. its hard but remember that sometimes you as the adult has to prove your self. if you try and dont give up the child will come thru. be a friend as well as a parent. listen to them .

When I married my Darling I inherited HIS darlings. They sre two of the most beautiful and delightful young women I have ever met, who have brought me more joy than I could ever have imagined. Their Mother however is quite another story!

i am a step mom for two lovely and beautiful ladies before and after my first marriage. the first born of my husband from his high school sweetheart before i met him and the baby after our "little separation" incident. i do have a wonderful relationship with the first one mother but not the second one. i know im too forgiving person cause she wreck my marriage but i just ignore her. but since im into inter-racial marriage, its kind of difficult for the children to understand me before cause we're from different cultures and tradition. but i know i love whoever my husband loves, so i accept them and hoping they will accept me as well. when they were little together with our daughter, they have that special bond. i wanted to have more but i cannot have it, i wish they both lived with us, but since they have their own mom, i just see them once in a while. one call me mama and the other one call me by my name, which is fine with me cause my own daughter call us by our first name, too. they spend some quality time with us and they adore me. now, that they are grown, they still come and see us once in a while. they loved each other knowing they are sisters, even they are from different mom.
i know its hard to believe that other is having an issue with "steps" cause some of them does not understand the way of life now these days. everyone with the other set of family need to adjust and moved on for better relationship. i know it required patience, loving, understanding, honesty, respect and caring to make it work. set aside differences because its not worth all the troubles it will create to the family. we need peace and harmony to achieve what we want in our relationship.
im not only a step mom im also a step daughter since my mom who is 75 years old just got married to a wonderful man with grown children. first i am skeptical cause im not sure if he is for real, but i see it for myself how he cares, loves, listen to my mom. i guess i put myself in his shoes and remember what had happened when i first bond with my step children.
i also hear about my husband story since he is a step son. it is hard for his mom to look for a good companion since she got a divorce. until she met a very decent man and love my husband from the get go. he don't have any other children so he practically raise my husband. i guess he just show how much he loved his mom and he accepted and treat my husband like his own and that is how they bonded. they been married for a very very long time, up to this day...
