@PurelyRidiculous I'm loving the bingo card!

The prize should be a crystal ball Grin

There is no way to win in referring to the children. You’re cold/resentful/nasty/overstepping/weirdly territorial/anything else that might come out of left field.

It kind of reflects that you’re just always in the wrong for some people, no matter what you do.

My DS refers to DSDs as his sisters. Grinds XWs gears and she shouted at him once when he was around 8 or 9. He shouted back at her that they were his sisters since they had the same dad😂 Apparently the DD she had with her other husband is the only sibling they have 🤦‍♀️

Does anyone remember the thread where a posters ex had moved on and got a new girlfriend and the poster demanded she needed to meet the new girlfriend before her kids did. But then she refused to meet up with said girlfriend because she was basically playing games.

"It's not a photo of your family if it's got my children in it."

Less than 2 weeks after insisting SC's had to be invited to my cousins wedding because it was a "family event".

Also note my child wasn't invited either (because it was an adults only wedding).

It baffles me how some of these amazing ExW are still single you know. It must be the "other woman" (who didn't arrive on the scene until 5yrs after the separation) and definitely not their ExDH running for the hills, as every person since has too. Definitely not.

One for the pot. Courtesy of one of the girls I used to work with, when she booked a surprise night away for her and DP on a non contact weekend for her own birthday, and the ExW was trying the "What? You've excluded your own child from a holiday!"... And "work girl" had pointed out it was not a holiday, it was one night, in a very boring adult hotel, for an adult birthday celebration, on a non contact weekend, so no, she hadn't arranged for the SC to come along on the weekend she was supposed to spend with her mother...

"You are trying to compete with his daughter"

Can we have one that says half siblings aren't siblings unless they have the same mother? Fathers need not apply 🙄

Dontwanttobeyourmonkeywench · 15/01/2021 18:10

Ooh I nearly forgot the corker that was "Your dad (as in my father) should be spending the same on DSDs" after he gave his grandson money towards a car. Each of the girls got £100 each every Christmas and birthday from him... Luckily DSDs call her out each time, but I did consider buying a shovel

“You should have all of DSC’s hand me downs for your precious all important DC and if you don’t, DSC will see how much you hate them.

Ok possibly a bit long to go on the front of a card grin Maybe an inside verse instead?....

Your child will be fine
In step-sibling's old gear;
And the money you save
Should fund step's gifts all year.

Not a step-mother or daughter, but I really feel for you all.

I'm a bit late commenting on this one lLaarschallin but just wanted to say it really made me laugh!

Some of these could be manufactured as those signs people put up in their houses as well as greeting cards.

ISBN111 · 15/01/2021 18:35

ESPecially the ones referencing ‘house rules’ or lack thereof.

In this house we laugh,we play,we love... except for the stepmother" kinda thing?Smile

I'm not a SM , but the most bonkers thing I've noticed on these threads is that if you are one,nothing is yours. Not your home,you wage, your personal things, your bedroom, your kids,your partner/husband, your time , your illness, your time off etc. Everything is either the step child's , to be shared with them or a burden/trauma for them.

Have you thought of branching out into engagement cards and wedding speeches op?

Bollss · 15/01/2021 19:38

Oh these are hilarious.

Some contributions from me....

"They know you hate them they can sense it"

"They were there before you"

And a special one for dps ex...

"So when are you dumping her and coming back to me"

I appreciate that ones a bit niche.
Was having this discussion last night with dp. Can laugh about it now but by god I think I probably realistically need therapy after years of his knob head ex.

Thanks My CatKnows Everything. I love it. I would definitely pay about £15 for that.
Yes accidentally, that would work too.

KumquatSalad · 15/01/2021 19:40

This would really set off the decor in every SM’s hallway. I’m sure it would be approved by the people who matter.

I've forgotten one of my fave mn quotes of all time.

"You're just a random woman!"

Surely one for every wedding speech.

These are brilliant!

You need one to put in an empty photo frame 'no photo here as the DSC are not in it and they may feel unloved'

Business opportunity for you here OP Grin
