I'm a wicked step mother because...

[FleaBagLarry]

There have been a few refreshing threads on here recently where some of us have been a bit more honest about how we actually feel!

In light of this, in what ways are you the stereotypical 'evil step mother'?

It got me thinking before, in my case, I'm the evil step mother because my DSC are isolating for 2 weeks and as much as we get on, I'm bloody enjoying the break! I'm looking forward to it being over for DHs sake but for me selfishly, it's been quite nice having a couple of weeks to ourselves. (We usually have the DC 50:50).

I know it's absolutely appalling that I haven't been sat in a darkened room sobbing the entire time! So shoot me 🤷

No one has Covid, no one is ill, just isolating before anyone suggests I don't care they are poorly.

DSS made dinner this evening! Omelette, potatoes and salad. And it was lovely! We taught him how the other week and he did it himself today. And he still washed up 😂 i usually say whoever cooks doesn't have to wash up but he'd done it before I realised (can't see into the kitchen).

This is progress 😆

(And also helps me take another step towards my dream of being waited on 24/7 hahaha).

I'm an evil stepmother because I absolutely refuse to take my stepson out for a driving lesson. He's a good driver by all accounts, has his own car but I'm refusing to let him drive me to McD's tomorrow lunchtime so that he can get the practice in (I don't want a mcd's, he does)

I can imagine the fallout if he so much as pranged that car under my watch. No Siree, get your parents to take that risk on for you. I'm "just the stepmum" this week

I don't blame you. No way would I be taking mine out without dual control either! Mine recently asked whether he could go on my insurance and share my car when he passed because I hardly use it. That's only true because of covid, as soon as things are back to normal I'll use it daily - plus, just no 😂. I saved and saved for that car, I adore it, and there's no way on gods green earth I'm willingly letting a 17yo drive it 😂😂.

I’m a wicked step mum ( according to dss mum) because he doesn’t swear at me and kick and spit at me ( he does her) so of course I must frighten him and that’s why he doesn’t do it to me. Nothing at all to do with boundaries and respect that we encourage. Mental

I so remember that feeling when they used to live with us. Was like a dark cloud was lifted when they left.

Fuck me, we are all living the same life 😂

I’m a wicked step mother as I refused to abort our child (at about 17 weeks) as my partners own step-daughter didn’t want her younger brother (my partners son) to not be the youngest anymore!! She begged me to think about it hard!!! When pregnancy was announced she stormed out the house screaming we should have used contraception! She was 19 at this point and doing away for Uni. I won’t have her involved in mine or our son’s life. Though her younger brother loves his little brother and does a lot with him. She tells everyone that our little one was unplanned and never wanted by my partner (he was very very much planned). Then my partner wonders why I refuse to acknowledge her existence at all.
