Why is it that some people can ask advice on here and have a moan about their children and not be subject to 'well you know you what you were getting into' tribe?
Seriously, asking for advice about a new-born sleep issue or troubles with feeding/weaning and it's well done' and 'don't worry' but ask about a DSC's sleep patterns or Xmas arrangements and it's 'well you knew he had children so deal with it'.
I get sooooo fucked off with the attitude of some people on here - my favourite being 'step-parents are nothing but baby sitters': I wish I could find a babysitter who would cook meals, clean up after, iron clothes, read to, bake with, check homework and finically contribute to the DCs they look after for £20 a night.
I am a step mum - no I wasn't the other woman. No I'm not insecure. No, I'm not trying to replace anyone. Yes, I knew that my DP had DCs.
But...fuck me...I didn't know the intricacies of being a SM on my first, second, or year after date with my DP. I guess the same way a first time mum feels about her LO - new,uncharted waters.
So, when I ask for advice, why give us such a fucking hard time?

To think that the phrase ‘well you know what you were getting into’ is fucking bollocks
