i see my divorced friends with kids and then i read this... two worlds apart. i'm never planning to have children but that's the kind of person i've been working to become. thank you for sharing this
My husband gets along with my son's dad. I get along with my son's dad's girlfriend. I call her daughter my son's little sister even though they're not biologically related and her mom and my son's dad aren't married. People were really surprised when I told her that I was GLAD she was in my son's dad's life, because she made him happy and he deserves to be happy. My husband and I were invited to a cookout they recently had, and my work schedule is the reason we couldn't go or we would have. It makes it so much easier on the kid(s) involved when people behave like adults! My son spent the summer with his dad, and when he brought him home, it my boy, his dad and his grandad. The five of us (the three plus my husband and I) joked, bantered, worked, and had fun the whole time they were here. I'm very glad that I have a great working/friendship relationship not only with his dad, but with his girlfriend Shelby too :)
Wish it would've been more like this when I was younger. I still refuse to call my mom's gf stepmom. She kinda said something like "if it were up to me, you 3 (me and my brothers) wouldn't be here" And she could never be nice or act normal to any of us. So yeah... Since I moved out, I only have to see her at family parties, which is so much better :P My dad's ex-gf... She had issues with me from day 1. She told my dad I was very offensive to her on the phone and that I ignored her at the store etc. (All which didn't happen but oh well...)
After my mother died, my father married a divorced woman with kids. We kids spent hours sitting in the back of the car bored and miserable while my dad, their mom, their dad, and his girlfriend screamed at each other in random parking lots. We sure wished the adults in our lives had been so understanding with each other as this lady! Good job putting your kiddo first and figuring out what really matters!
I was thinking about this earlier today I was with a Man who had a little girl. I loved them both to bits and always put them first and tried so hard to be a positive influence in their life. Unfortunately the relationship didn't work. I suspect because of a jealous Mother after a bit I felt like I came last in the pecking order to his ex wife. It's very sad when people can't get a long and work together. It's not them against the world it's a team effort, we are all in this together.
I wish more women could embrace the "Other Woman" as the bonus mom. I deal with this struggle every day of my life with my step-daughter's mother. It's nice to see a little appreciation because it's not an easy task!
i wish i was so fortuniate when it came to my childrens father, and his choices on his females. would be a blessing to have a real woman to connect with my kids, and encourage him to be a part of there lives or at LEAST contribute and pay some child support! trust me evil step parents exist. this family was very fortuniate. god bless the good ones!!! good to see some good people left out there.
Beautiful pictures and a way to be civil with one another no matter what the reason it could be to cause negativity.
Life too short to carry that heavy burden of bitterness and hate! I'm so grateful that my parents and their subsequent partner's always treated each other with kindness and respect. Eventually with genuine fondness and affection because they treated us kids, and our kids, so well. It's heartwarming to hear other families enjoying the same harmony!
what about men who date women with kids? I am a father to a child i didn't father but she is like my very own.
This is beautiful. Sometimes it seems that people are too vengeful, looking for people to blame for misfortune. But this woman got it right.
