I love my stepdaughter but I am NOT her mother. I wish people would realize that and stop expecting so much of me.

What do they expect of you that is over and beyond? When a child is in your care you ARE the mother. Did you see getting a ready made family as something of a plus, or a burden?

When you said "I do" it meant that you would also be taking care of her as well. Why won't you stop your complaining and realize how lucky you are to have a child in your life. You unappreciative catty woman...

What is her mother like? She may need you and since you married her dad it sort of is your responsibility to treat her as your child. That IS what you signed up for. What is "expecting to much" from you?

I can't believe how rude people are when they don't even know the story. I have a step-daughter, at the same time I gave birth to my son. It seems like the minute it happened, my awesome husband turned into a pos like the girls mother, drinking everyday, while I'm busting ass to take care of 2 kids. It's ironic they fight over custody, when I'm the only one taking care of her.

You are, for better or worse, the adult woman in her life who, for practical purposes, her mother! You must have known this before you married! Deal with it! How would you feel if you were her?

You're her step mother, same thing as a real mother, sans genetic tie. Suck it up and deal with it, ho..

u knew he had kids... yeah ur not the birth mom but,.... family goes beyond blood. that is ur kid.
Remove this stupid comment

well, stop calling her your daughter and call her "my husbands kid" !!
Remove this stupid comment

You said step mother, that means you are married. If not, you are right. You are nothing to the child and nothing to the dad the way you act. You should feel lucky he wants to be with you, as you already have children. It must be tough when you realize you are only there to babysit. Go find another guy to pay your bills and try to find one that doesn't have kids, or ex-wives so you can be sure to take complete advantage of him, because it is obvious that you are selfish.

The post directly before this has a black and white drawing as well, which is rare here, is this coincidence? Or is that your hubby/boyfriend?

^^^that is a stupid hypothetical situation, it's like asking if two of your kids were drowning which one would you save...no answer is the right one!

Unfortunately, relationships don't work that way. If a person comes with a child, one generally expects the "step parent" to act as more than a babysitter. Does he know your true feelings? If not, that's unfair to him and his daughter. They obviously already had one lousy woman in their life, don't make it two. If he does know, then I guess that decision is on him as the child's only parent. Honesty is the best policy.

you are an idiot! you married someone that had a child. what do you expect?
Remove this stupid comment

If you are in loco parentis, you need to afford her a certain level of protection, and I'm sure you do. What do you mean by people expecting so much of you?
Remove this stupid comment

I am NOT married to this child's parent for one and for two the child's parent does nothing for their daughter they ask me to do everything for this child
Remove this stupid comment

Plus I already have children of my own so before you judge someone know the whole story!
Remove this stupid comment

If you aren't married to the child's parent, then how can you be the step mom??
Remove this stupid comment

Maybe you should be honest if you are complaining about people not knowing your story...
Remove this stupid comment

if your already a mom how can taking care of one more kid be that much of a chore? if you had no experience with kids i would understand your struggle but this seems stupid.
Remove this stupid comment

If you were in a life-and-death situation where you could only save your child or your significant other's from a previous relationship, which one would you try to save.... That's right - so would everyone else whether they would admit it here or not.
Remove this stupid comment

Oh boo hoo, you married the man but not the kid right? I mean she already has a mom, so you're off the hook. Except for that whole "reality" thing that comes crashing down. Is it just that all vaginas these days come packaged with zero notion of consequences? Cause I swear you gals are getting dumber by the day.
