Posts: 7808 | May 18th, 2008 at 08:02am Does anyone have any step parents or siblings? How do you feel about them and what not?
I am close to having a step-mother. My dad has been dating this woman for like 5 years or something, and we all have a feeling that once my parents divorce is finalized (they have been separated for like 11 years) My dad is going to marry this woman. She isn't a bad person at all. She is very sweet, an nice, and a caring woman....but she is a fucking moron. And I am not just saying that. Like she really is. You listen to her talk and it's like "oh my god, please, just shut up, you are actually killing braincells." And she's just....annoying, and I somewhat feel bad that I can't stand her...
But I really can't...I like cringe when I see her in my house with my father. >_O |

Ugh... stepparents.
I had a stepmom a long time ago, before she divorced my dad, and I had two stepbrothers. The guys could be annoying, but they were nice in general, and my stepmom was the sweetest woman alive. I loveed her a lot, and I was glad that she was in my life. When they got a divorce... well... I don't get to see her anymore. And now I don't get to see my dad either... and he's apparently leaving the country. 
So, anyway, I had a stepdad... and I hated him and the rest of his family except for my stepcousins. I loved them a lot. But... a lot of really terrible things happened, so... that kind of ended.
As for your almost-stepmom, I'm sorry she's a moron. But you're probably just going to have to figure out how to try and understand her. [maybe even educate her  ]

Posts: 10184 | May 18th, 2008 at 10:35am I have an almost stepdad. He doesn't understand me at all. He always bugs me about what I wear and the music that I listen to. I hate him interferring because I liked it better when it was just my Mum. We have no sort of relationship, except sometimes he'll try and buy me and my brothers with money.
My mum hates me because I hate him but I can't help it. He's just so annoying. |

My dad has a girlfriend that plays the step mother card all the time.
She's always offering to talk and none of them, parents in general can accept that I don't work like that.
Her children resent my dad almost as much as I resent her.
But it's been getting better over the years I guess.

Posts: 2334 | May 18th, 2008 at 06:57pm My parents split up when i was about seven.
My mum now is with a guy who she has another two children with. I fucking despise him, and i don't really want to go into details but i do have my reasons. I'm not one of those whiny kids who are like, "I want my mummy all to myself" no way, get real. I want my parents both to be happy, together (never gonna happen) OR apart, but i am not happy about my mum being with a mentally stupid and selfish guy. They've been violent, shouted and screamed, broken up and got back together at least twenty times- all over the last six-seven years. And i'm the one to pick up her pieces.
[/bitter rant]
My dad is now with a really lovely woman who he's been friends with for a long time. Her daughter is also one of my best friends, so us merging into family has been really great. It's a complete contrast to my "other family" : |

Shes the same age as my brother! He is 21.
Im 15 and its weird. My brother finds it horrible that he is older than her. As you can probably tell, my dad is ALOT older than this woman.
She seems okay and they've been together a while now. Its just hard to get round that shes so young. |

Neither of my parents have seen anyone after they split, about 8 months before I was born, but I really want mum to get a boyfriend or something. I think it would be really cool for her to have one... |

Posts: 7 | June 3rd, 2008 at 10:00pm I think its nice to know that your mum or dad has found happiness again.
My mums first boyfriend was a complete idiot though. There were so many arguments about it. But then eventually he left and my mum finally realised that he was a bastard. Shes now really happy with someone else and he is hilarious! Its nice to see her smiling and laughing again =)
My dad and his fiancé on the other hand..
It doesnt help that when my mums friends see me, they are always mentioning that they saw my dad with my sister. When actually, it was his fiancé. Its annoying. Grr. |

Posts: 1245 | June 4th, 2008 at 08:29pm I've had several stepmums and stepdads.
Thing is, you just have to accept it. As long as they don't do anything that harms you in any way, you just have to cope with the fact that she's stupid.
My stepdad I have now is the best, he's kind and understanding. Sure when I lived at home we could fight a lot, but I really do love him.
But I've had my share of not so great stepparents, but as long as they make your mum/dad happy, and they don't harm you or make you miserable (I mean the real kind, where they really, really make you depressed or something by verbaly abusing you) you just have to accept it and try to make the best out of the situation. |

Posts: 113 | June 8th, 2008 at 05:22pm My parents are still together but I've grown up with two half-brothers, both of them living with us at some point or another.
As much as I love them and we get on there's a 15 year age gap between me and the eldest. He's far too over protective and I hate it. Neither of them live with us now, which I'm thankful for in a way, and the eldest recently moved to spain. Which messed me up in a way I didn't think would happen.
You just have to live with it, if your really that annoyed by her, talk to your dad about it, just to let him know how you feel.

Posts: 121 | June 12th, 2008 at 10:47pm Step-parents suck. I have been through 2 divorces and they say war is hell but divorce is true hell.They are the worst because they try to be your parents. I have had one horrible step-parent and he treated me like shit. now my mom has a new boyfriend and he is like the hugest douchebag I've ever seen in my life. I think that your real parents should definetly take in consideration their children when they decide to remarry or date. I will make sure that when and if i decide to get married that it is the right man for me so my kids will not have to suffer through divorce. |

Posts: 135 | June 15th, 2008 at 05:57pm I guess I'm pretty lucky because I get on well with my step-parents.
I get along great with my step-dad in particular, because sometimes he acts as much like a kid as I do, yet is always there for me in a fatherly way too. He's pretty much a second dad, seeing as my dad's in a different country and I hardly see him.
My step-mom's cool too, but my sister's closer to her than I am because she still lives in England and gets to see them more than I do because I have to catch a plane from Ireland just to see her and my dad.
It was painful to see my family go though divorce but at least my parents are still nice to each other, unlike some of my friends' parents after they've divorced. |

Posts: 979 | June 15th, 2008 at 11:22pm I have a step-dad. He's not married to my mum, but they've been together for ages... And I also have a half-sister, so that kind of secures it.
I don't really like him all that much. We don't see eye to eye, and he just makes digs at me all the time. Mostly about my music. He always says that I shouldn't enforce it upon my little sister, because he doesnt want her to be like me, but if she comes into my room while Im playing music Im hardly going to stop it. He's ridiculous, really.
I don't call him dad, either, I call him by his first name... Because simply put, he's not my dad.
Is that normal for step-parents? |

Posts: 753 | June 17th, 2008 at 11:10pm I have a great step-dad. I call him Paul.  Paul is totally sarcastic and really funny so we have a great time together. I always thought he would worse than he is, but I guess anyone is better than my real dad.
My dad has a long-term girlfriend. Her name is Maria. She's a bartender at a tiny bar. I don't really like her. So...yeah. |

Posts: 460 | June 17th, 2008 at 11:25pm My parents have been divorced since before I was two. I've had two step-dads, and one step-mom. My first step-dad was married to my mom for a good 7 years, and then he kept coming into the picture off and on. He's the dad of my little brother. He wasn't a bad step-dad at the time, though he's pretty much an ass now. He has his good moments, and his bad.
His son, my step-brother, I absolutely love. I consider him as much my real brother as I do my full brother. He's 23, married now with a daughter, and really awesome. He's there for me more than my other two brothers, though I don't get to see him much anymore. I love him to death, and I'm glad he's my brother.
My other step-dad, the current one, is turning 28 this year. My mom's 38. He can be really awesome, fun, goofy, nice to hang out with. But he has a very quick temper, and he over-reacts a lot. He's getting better, but he's very immature. He's been with my mom for about 7 years, married for 3. I'm used to him, and he's not all that bad. We share a lot of interests, so that makes it a bit easier.
My ex step-mom wasn't bad. Her and my dad divorced like..4 years ago. They were together for about 5 years. She was pretty nice, fun to be around. I liked her, and didn't really understand how she became the 'bad guy' towards the end. Course, I live with my mom, so I wasn't around that much. Just every other weekend. Not a bad step-mom. |

Posts: 214 | June 19th, 2008 at 02:52am My dad died 11, almost 12, years ago and my mom has never remarried, not even dated. I'm kind of happy she didn't. She was always afraid she would go out with someone who would abuse me or assault me or something. She said when I'm gone to college, maybe she'll date, but doubts it. My mom's happy, she really is. She married her best friend and got to experience love. She said that's all she needs.
I love my mom. She's my hero, being able to support me alone for 12 years. She rejected all help and she raised me all by herself. I think she's done a good job. <333 |

Posts: 1030 | June 20th, 2008 at 04:07am Well I would actually be happy if I got a stepmother.
My mom use to always leave weeks at a time when she got tired of being at home, and liek it really hurt, and then finally last year my parents decided to get divorced sounds kind of bad but Im happy because it's for the best.
I hardly see my mom, mostly because she goes to trips with her lovely boyfriend *gag* and she lives far away and well she doesn't like visiting us her kids kind of sad but eh that's life.
But I want my dad to be happy and I think he would if he found that one woman for him  |

Posts: 496 | June 20th, 2008 at 10:37am I have an almost stepfather. Him and my mom have been together for about a year and they're engaged, but they keep changing the date for the wedding. My parents have been divorced for six years, so it's really, really strange for me to think of my mom with my dad, so I never really minded her dating other people (well, I did when I was younger, but not anymore). Her fiancee is usually pretty funny, but before, we lived in a REALLY tiny house cuz we couldn't pay the rent in our old house (I had to sleep on the couch). And we lived right down the street from the bar, so last year, he would always come home drunk. Sometimes he'd be funny and give me money, but most of the time he was loud and rude. One nigth both my parents came home drunk (my mom doesn't drink that much) and he started screaming at me for no reason and wouldn't even stop when I started crying.
Now that we've moved, he's drinking less and less, but last week he drank more than half a bottle of straight vodka and was being a dick to my mom. He's not like this all the time (not anymore), but if it keeps up I'm not gonna be happy that he's marrying my mom.
He sort of rags on me sometimes, but usually stops when I tell him to fuck off.  And he acts liek a child, which is really funny sometimes (we've gotten into pointless but amusing arguments hundreds of times), but other times it's SOOOO annoying. Eh, all in all he's okay. Haven't met my soon-to-be step-brothers yet.... |
