I’m a step-momma to an almost 15-year-old girl. I’ve been in her life since she was 6. We have a great relationship. And her dad and I have a great co-parenting relationship with her bio-mom and her step-dad. I think of her as my own and treat her as my own. I.E., she has the same rules/chores/discipline, etc. as my biological son. We are struggling with her and her finding some independence. She seems to think she always needs to be with friends or doing something with someone. She has told us that she doesn’t like to be alone or do things alone. We have an open policy about her social media, she only has Instagram, but we are allowed to do phone checks. She got in trouble with social media a while back, so that was the agreement between us four parents that we are allowed to do phone checks. I’ve seen a couple of messages where a few friends/people in her circle of friends have called her clingy/overbearing, and that she involves herself in the drama that doesn’t include her. For example, one friend got upset with her because the friend felt that she couldn’t even go to the restroom with my step-daughter having to always come with. Another was; that one of her very good friends liked a boy; the boy did not like her back. My step-daughter messaged the boy, demanding a reason why he didn’t like her friend and that her friend was an awesome girl, and he had no real “reason” not to like her. Another example was; 2 of her friends go into a fight, and my step-daughter messaged one of them, trying to be involved. The friend said it was between her and the other friend, and they were figuring it out and that my step-daughter needs to butt ours. My step-daughter then said, it is my business cause so-and-so is my close friend and I deserve to know why you’re mad at her, etc. One of her best friends told her she wanted a break from her because she felt my step-daughter was smothering her. She is in counseling, and I’m not sure if she’s mentioned anything to her counselor because I’m sure she doesn’t see anything wrong, she just sees her as trying to be a good friend. Which I totally understand. But, she has no independence and get’s very upset being by herself and when her friends don’t want to hang out for one day. She has no hobbies. We have tried different sports, different arts, photography, sewing, all sorts of things but then she gets bored because she says “she isn’t good at it,” but she doesn’t ever give it a time or ask us for help, and when we try to get involved, they want isn’t there. We have asked her numerous times what she likes and what she would like to give a try, and she just says “nothing.” I just want some advice on how to help her if I can. I love her very much, and we have a great step-mother/step-daughter relationship, better than a lot do. I just want some advice from other mommas. Sorry it’s so long and thank you all in advance

Despite popular opinion on here that is not 'normal' at all just because she is a teenager. Having multiple friends call her smothering, overbearing & taking breaks from hanging out with her is a red flag for her future relationships especially a boyfriend. She is going to end up plopping herself smack in the middle of an abusive relationship if she doesn't learn how to stop trying to melt into another person's life instead of creating her own identity. Inform her counselor immediately. There may be something going on that she isn't able to understand herself that her counselor can help her see before it gets worse.

Advice, please! We went to court a couple of years ago over my stepdaughter, she’s 3. We also live in Alabama. In the agreement, it states that they were supposed to provide proof of insurance through her stepdad. He is in the Army, so my stepdaughter has Tricare. After several attempts in the past year, they have never provided us any proof. Apparently, she does not have a health insurance card? So, I said that to say this. Let’s note that I take this child to the doctor when she’s sick, to the dentist if need be, and anything else. We pay out of pocket costs because we can’t get any info from the stepdad. The mother does not take care of her; she does not take her to the doctor or dentist. She does not have a PCP. There have been multiple times we have picked her up, and she reeks of cigarette smoke and perfume trying to cover it up. So, yesterday I took her to the dentist because she has two black cavities on her back molars on the bottom. So when I get there, I find out they can’t find her insurance through TriCare in the system. Normally, they look that up by the stepdads social. I already knew this was going to be a headache, but I called the mother a couple of times, and she never answered. The stepdad calls me back on the mother’s phone and continues to chew me a new one about asking for his social so they can find her insurance. The receptionist overheard the conversation after several hours of waiting for an answer, the receptionist said, “We are concerned for your step daughter’s teeth, and we know you want them looked at, so we are going to suggest you get her on an insurance plan with you guys and we will bill you later.” I said okay, we could do that. Thirty minutes later, I find out my stepdaughter has to have all four back molars capped because the cavities are so bad. Her gums are swollen from where her mom doesn’t let her brush them. Her other teeth have cavities forming at the gum line, so those will have to be fixed as well. They will have to send her a couple of hours from home to have this done, and she will have to be put to sleep. They said if she went six months without this done, all her teeth would abscess, and she would have to have them all cut out. And if they abscess, they could kill her. I was FURIOUS. Why hadn’t the mother already had this took care of? Again, she never takes her to the doctor or anything on her own time. So, I called my husband and talked to him about it. A few minutes later, the mother called my husband and said they were trying to charge me with insurance fraud because I was trying to find out about step daughters insurance. My husband told her that I’m his wife and if I need to take her to a doctor or anything that I have right to do so, especially when my husband isn’t able to. Obviously, her medical needs are not met when she’s with her. She has everything she wants and needs when she’s with us. We already have a lawyer from previously, we are looking for advice for full custody. Thanks!

I understand ur his wife, but that's his daughter and u seemed more over the top then he. Have him communicate back n forth.. since that is his child and his insurance. Sometimes stepmoms try to be soooo "perfect" Obvisiously, she isnt that bad of a mom if she has custody and yall dont. And btw... kids can naturally have bad teeth and gums. Make sure its not "neglect" but just putting that out there

My brother in law is extremely overbearing, or is, is it my husband? So my husband and his brother are close. That's great for them. But the entirety of our relationship, his brother has always been in our business. When we got together years ago, they lived in the same house with their parents. His brother was non stop in hubby's bedroom, I mean ALWAYS. We always tried to hint at him to leave, but he would just sit at the end of the bed and be on his phone. Super weird, in my opinion. But anyway, when we finally moved out on our own, I made it very clear to hubby that this was our home and his brother can not just come over whenever he pleases as I have two children to take care of(from the previous relationship) and it's just not his house. My hubby was fine with that, but what's annoying is he would just go to his parent's house every single day to hangout with his brother. I mean literally every single day. I continued to voice my opinion on it because why are we together if he can't make time for me but can make time for his brother every single day. Well fast forward, I'm pregnant with our first child together, and to say this pregnancy has been a drag would be an understatement. Every night hubby gets home from work. If he doesn't go to his parent's house first, he is on FaceTime with his brother. EVERY SINGLE DAY! I have voiced my opinion on how it would be nice if he could slow it down a bit and take some time for me, especially since I'm pregnant. He's been saying, "okay babe, I'll change," and yet nothing new. About two weeks ago, his brother got a job at hubby's work. So now every single morning and every night his brother is in my home, invading my space because they have been carpooling, which makes no sense because his brother has to drive 20-30 minutes out of his way to come here in the morning first. All of this has created serious tension between hubby's brother and me as I can't stand him anymore cause he thinks he's entitled to everything in my home, and he thinks he should get my husband's attention before me. My question is, how can I talk to my husband? How can I get him to understand? We have a baby coming in less than three months, and I'm afraid this behavior is going to continue when the baby comes, and with me having to get a c section, I'm really going to need hubby's help.

I don’t have very good advice I think it’s nice they are so close and I hope my children have this type of relationship I am a only child I would kill to have a brother or sister there for me everyday. It was a problem before you can’t expect marriage or a baby to just fix things that’s not how it works.

I have anxiety about putting my toddler in their room: Advice?

February 10, 2020 February 10, 2020 / Motherhood, Question, Toddler / By Anonymous Community Member

First-time momma here and was wondering if anyone else has had anxiety about moving their baby/toddler into their own room. My little one is 14 months, and she has been sleeping in the master bedroom with my husband and me since the first night she came home from the hospital. She slept in her bassinet until she outgrew it and had been sleeping in her pack-n-play right next to me ever since. She has been sleeping through the night, so I figured it is time to move her to her own room (which is literally across the hall from our room). But I have anxiety over it. We have a baby monitor with a camera so I can check on her without having to go into her room, but it is still making me nervous. How did you other mommas deal with this transition? Any advice for helping me deal with my anxiety? Anonymous Community MemberThis question was asked by a Facebook community member who has asked to remain anonymous.

Advice on lice?

February 10, 2020 February 11, 2020 / Child Health, Question / By Anonymous Community Member

What are your experiences with lice? I have a three-year-old who got it. We used over the counter lice medicine twice. It didn’t work, so I just used a prescription. Hoping this is it, all I’ve been doing is combing, washing, vacuuming! I’m so afraid they are going to return. Also, how is your school/daycare in dealing with this? Mine said, “oh, we haven’t had any of that here,” then said they’d tell all parents. I never got an email or paper note about it, which worries me that they haven’t told other parents to check their kids. I asked, and they said they sent out an email, but I guess the just took me off that email list? Seems fishy. Anyhow this has definitely been an adventure!

Also, I was told they would all be treated the same at birthdays and Christmas and was far from true. Now my kids and I are and were just fine with not having a whole lot because we have each other.

Hi, I’m a working mom of my wonderful daughter. She’s turning four. My husband and I had a big misunderstanding last night. I was asking him if I could sleepover with my best friends, who are gays and girls, no straight man. We usually do that once in a while, like once every three months or more. I do have two jobs: a public school teacher at day and a tutor to three students after duty. Aside from that, I do have many extra jobs just to support our family since I asked him to go back to school while he’s still young. He got really upset that I wanna hang out with my friends even he knew them all. All I want is a break, and now he’s telling me that I ain’t happy being a mom. I just want some time with my friends, which seldom happens. I have worked two months after I underwent CS, and I was happy to do that for our family. Any advice? Ps. I was the one who pushed my husband to go back to school ’cause I want him to pursue his dreams. Anonymous Community MemberThis question was asked by a …

My in laws try to over parent my husband and I: Advice?

February 10, 2020 February 11, 2020 / Family / In Laws, Parenting, Question / By Anonymous Community Member

I need advice on in-laws. My in-laws are amazing people, but when it comes to their grandson, they will do whatever he wants regardless of what my husband and I think of it. My father-in-law will say out loud as he does something. “I know mom said no, but I don’t care.” It’s always said as a joke, but my son is 18 months old, and I don’t want that to become the standard. Overall it’s not a big issue, but right now, my son is going through a phase where he is throwing food at meals, throwing fits because he thinks it’ll get him what he wants, etc. and my father-in-law just feeds into it. If my son throws something on the floor and my husband and I are telling him no, my father-in-law is laughing and throwing stuff too. I’m at a loss. I know he doesn’t mean harm by it, but it’s not helping, and my son thinks it’s funny.

My daughter is 19 months old. She would hate food if you were to ask me what her favorite food was. I cannot give you an answer because she does not have one. She is in the 50th percentile for her weight and 90th for her height.

She is now refusing me to feed her and does not want to feed herself. I set her down at the table with her plate of food, and sometimes she eats nothing and sits there and cries the whole time. Sometime she’ll pick what she wants, maybe strawberries, or perhaps a few blueberries. Nothing significant. I am not the type of mom to sit there and say I need to bring her to feeding therapy or to the doctor because she doesn’t like eating. I see that she is a kid and kids are difficult.

My 6yr old son won’t stop pooping his pants. My son has been fully potty trained since he was 3. When he was 5, we had his sister, and things were good for a while. Well, he started having accidents, not peeing on himself, always pooping his pants. We chalked that up to the new baby, sat him down, and explained things, and things went back to normal. For a while, then he started back up with the accidents. This has been an on and off thing now for almost two years. It doesn’t matter where he is; he has done this at home, at school, at relatives.
