step-parenting

[haiku]

dad should not involve stepmom in ANY decisions involving the kids-she is NOT their parent.i dont get involved in any decisions regarding my stepson ray- cuz frankly its not my place, its between his mom and dad( and hopeefully not his grandmother, who i absolutely cant stand, but thats a whole other story)

being a step parent does NOT make you a doormat to your own husband.Your step parental 'rights" begin and end in your own home.

I expect to be consulted by my husband on any decision involving MY home and MY budget. thats just common courtesy, and part of being in a good marriage.

ultimately it is his decision, but to say you have no input is really ridiculous in my opinion.

I agree! No one should expect to not have input in their own homes.

How can you stay out of parenting ans how could your hubby allow that?? Do the children live with you all?? Are they around for the weekend?? I dont understand do you not be alone with the children at all?

i leave well enough alone

yes ray lives with us, my HUBBY has full custody. i dont feel its my place to make any decisons regarding ray, as he is not my son. plus, i dont want to hear any crap from his grandmother, she meddles enough as it is, and i would rather not have to hear her mouth.and i know darn good and well she would have something to say about it, she cant keep her nose out of anyone's business.
