Ok so my son has been living with his dad for the summer & he comes home most weekends. My son will be 8 next month & this is the first time we've tried this. I must be honest, I'm not liking it. My son is not used to being away from me this much & he's constantly asking me to stop pass & give him a kiss or come get him during the week for a few hours. His dad lives 20 mins from me so it's not a small commute. I've been trying to be super mom & run to his every call but I've decided I'm not going to do that anymore. I keep asking him does he just want to come home & he says yes but then he doesn't want to go to my aunt's daycare during the day while I work...well sorry kid, mommy has to work to take care of you!

    I'm a soon-to-be stepparent, and I'm scared shitless after reading this and all the responses. I have no idea how to behave around them. It doesn't help that the ex-wife is a horror towards me. Most here know the backstory, so I won't bore again, but I'm the enemy, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.

    So many times I've thought about calling off the wedding and moving out just because of the step-parent, ex-wife situation. I'm too chickenshit to run or stay. So I just stay, and try to stay out of the situation as much as possible.
