Earlier in the thread. Who knows, the situation may have changed several times over by now!0 -
Well the thread is more then a year old maybe they sorted things since then...
Seems a silly reason to break up over no offense to OP!People don't know what they want until you show them.0 -
Hello everyone. Yes I am expecting a baby. I did split up with my Husband for a short a while, when I posted I did, but we are back together now. I, as always appreciated the opinions on the stepchildren/my child which is fair issue.
Now we are going to have a child together, it has become even more relevat!

Congratulations!
I do hope you're going to treat all the children equally and that you've overcome the difficulties you were having with this issue last year.0 -

Thank you.
I do have a new worry though! We are going on holiday next year with the baby. We've asked if the Stepchildren can go and the answer is no. Stuck between a rock and a hard place. When we go and the kids can't they might feel hurt we've left them behind, but if we tell them their Mum won't let them go and it's not that we won't take them, we're slagging her off and causing trouble. Grrrrrrr! This is so hard all the while!I'm never offended by debate & opinions.

Let their mum tell them why!0 -
Its a minefield - oh Christmas day my daughters dad did not even bother with a christmas present for his daugther - this is the daughter he spent 18mths dragging me through a court hearing - she was 8 at this time - the reason he had met someone else dumped his then wife for this woman with 6 kids and then there expecting no 7 (he as dad)
Try explaining to a very upset 10 yr old why has her dad dumped her, and has his son and the stepchildren not got christmas presents ....... I bet there tree was loaded up!!xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0
