Working mom that's exactly what my DH says! So I try and make more effort now for alone time with him and to make him feel more important and it's definately working!!

Hi ladies

I am a step mom and I know what its like to be on the receiving end of a step child. I do not condone the fact that your DH is sulking. An apology is an apology and it should have been accepted immediately.

Its really hard being a step parent so please, please, please, understand that sometimes we need a little more attention when the lo's are asleep.

Hope all is sorted out soon

Thanks ChanM, its relieving to hear that sum1 else has dealt with similar problems! And yes it is hurtful esp 4 a mom bcoz we guard our lo's & their feelings like hawks.
Saw that u were preggies-so glad 4 u, it will b nice 2 have a lo 2 complete ur family!

My DH is stepdad to my almost 8 year old daughter. We've had similar experiences in the past and I got so hurt by it. We eventually went for councelling and it made all the difference. I'm now pregnant with "our" first baby and all I can say is thank goodness we sorted out all those silly little things and are in a wonderful place right now.

Im so p'd off with my dh its just not true.
My 4yr old was rude 2 him when he picked her up from daycare & he completely flipped, came home in a foul mood, has ignored us this evening. Even when she apologized, he wouldnt look her in the eye to accept it.
So im beyond upset with him & i dont feel that i shud do any sweet talking. I encourage him 2 discipline them but this is childish, after all she's 4yr not him.
Does Any1 else experience this & what have you done in a similar situation?
