I may B U.

OH in Navy - only see each other (most)weekends.

Had nice w/e planned with OH this one just gone as I had no kids and OH went to see some visiting relatives from abroad 300 miles away (who came at short notice). I was unable to go with him as I have students. So spent weekend on my own and saw some friends etc(ended up working). Will see him this weekend for first time in two weeks and will spend weekend with him and my DCs.

School hols this weekend looking forward to weekend without kids weekend after to prepare for holiday and DD's bday and spend some time alone with OH. I have been very unwell the last 6 months and am looking forward to a rest in the hols from full on kids

We are then going away on holiday for a week just the two of us then having one of his DC's (and my 3) for 2 weeks. We have asked the mother of his other 2 DCs (months ago) if we can have them for a week so they can see their sibling. She has said no as she has a friend satying for two weeks .

He has now said today she wants us to have them the weekend after next (my kid free weekend). I have gone a bit mental as I feel I am dancing to her tune constantly when we have offered to have them for a whole week.

He can't get them this weekend as he can't afford the petrol and I can't lend it.

ARGH please be honest and tell me - AIB a selfish bitch step mother from hell?

"hat is a highly relevant point because you can argue that there is a difference between what is expected of a step mother and what is expected of the partner of a father"

That's brilliant. So because I am not married to my children;s father I can say i am not their mother and fuck off and so my own thing whenever I want to?

runnybottom - my step-mother (of 23 years) has been more a parent to me than my own mother or step-father - and yet, according to you because she's not married to my father (he'll never remarry, my mother put him off it for life ) she can't call herself my step-mother.

My mother agrees with you - according to her, my step-father is my step-father because they're married whereas my step-mother is... just my 'friend'

Are you sure you're not my mother?
