Why is it so bad for step mom

 or a man's gf or fiance' to encourage the man to seek out more time and rights to his children than he had previously.  Sometimes people are more willing to go after something that they need or want when they know they have somebody in their corner or when they feel like their living situation is more stable (which it might be after getting with SO).  So why do moms on here get pissed when their ex's SO encourages their ex to spend more time with his kids than he did before they got together. You would think that a mom would be happy that her ex is becoming more involved in their children's life. I don't get it, enlighten me!

Because it's none of her business.

Because it's not a legitimate want on the ex's part. And a lot of times new step moms automatically think they are better then the current situation and start a lot of wars that weren't there to begin with.

 Her SO's life isn't any of her business? or just that part? anything that concerns DH, concerns me as well, and vice versa.

Because its about what's best for the child and any man who wants more time with his kids just to impress a girl...is a douche...and it will probably only hurt the kids in the long run.

I feel like I mention it often but thank God my child will never have a step mom and I will never be a step mom! Too much drama and instability!

I am a step mom I wouldn't have gotten into this situation if he needed me to push him to be a good dad. if he changed his mind and wanted to go back to court without my input (not my place) then I would support him in that. Luckily my husband demanded 50/50 custody and his ex wife agreed and we all raise sd together drama free.

 Let's say you really wanted to be a doctor but other people in your life had told you that you weren't smart enough, weren't capable enough, that it was too hard to attain, etc., sometimes in a situation like that all it would take is having someone tell you "You are SO smart and capable and you can do anything you set your mind to!" to give you the confidence and support to actually go for it. It doesn't meant that you didn't legitimately want it before, just that you needed that support to actually make it happen.
