what are some positives to your SM situation?
Maybe we should develop a Crayola bomb as our next secret weapon. A happiness weapon. A beauty bomb. And every time a crisis developed, we would launch one. It would explode high in the air - explode softly - and send thousands, millions, of little parachutes into the air. Floating down to earth - boxes of Crayolas. And we wouldn't go cheap, either - not little boxes of eight. Boxes of sixty-four, with the sharpener built right in. With silver and gold and copper, magenta and peach and lime, amber and umber and all the rest. And people would smile and get a little funny look on their faces and cover the world with imagination. ~Robert Fulghum
i dont mean about BM i mean in general. the kids, your relationship with them or your DH. I think we all need to focus on the positive because if there weren't any NONE of us would take this one.
Quoting kloesmommy:
Sorry, I got nothing... although if I dig really deep I suppose I could say that her new husband seems like decent guy. We've never met him but by all we can tell, he's an all right guy.
I always wanted a big family....but when my ex and I split six years ago, I learned to be content with the three girls I had. I love them with all my heart, of course, and would die for any one of them. I dated....and came to the conclusion that I was probably one of those women who were meant to be alone. A string of cheaters, liars and players was all I had found.....
Then on June 1, 2010, after a message frenzy and an all-night phone call, I met the man of my dreams. First thing he told me was he had some things to tell me that might be deal breakers. They, however, were not.
In the marrying of my DH, I became Momma to his three oldest, whose mother had never been more than a gold-digging, selfish drug addict. I love the oldest girls with all my heart. And have a particular soft spot in my heart for my inherited son, who came to me when he was 20-years-old. He even addresses his letters from boot camp to ....David and Momma.....LOL....
I also inherited 5-year-old triplets. They are adorable and wild balls of energy. Their Momma is their Momma. I am Michelle. And we all like it that way.
All in all, the first year of marriage and the blending of this family has been challenging. A lot of drama....and a ton of chaos....but I finally have the big family I wanted and I'd have it no other way.
thats sweet :)

Hmm I can think of plenty...
I didn't have to be pregnant and ruin my body.
I didn't have to go through labor or a C-sec like BM
I got to sleep all night long!
I never had to deal with tantrums, potty training, etc.
I don't have to deal with sick kids.
But I get to be in this beautiful girls life.
I get to watch her grow, play with her, laugh with her, and get to know her.
I get hugs and kisses, get to hear about her day, her school, her friends.
I get to watch her in her dance performances.
I get to take her places and teach her things...
and so many more!
My relationship with my husband....in spite of all the troubles and heartache within the Step world, I am glad we met. He's a wonderful man....we've both "grown" into better people because of each other and our circumstances. And I look forward to growing old with him. :-)
