My BF asked me to post this here to get some opinions.
Here's the story. Bf and her ex had a baby together. He cheated, they split, then he married the "other woman" and had another baby. Dad has been seeing the little girl every other weekend since she was a baby. Now his new wife has a baby too. Everything was going fine until recently the step mom was starting to get a little too familiar with her step dd. They're taking "family" pictures of the 4 of them and posting them all over FB and when Ex goes on deployment, step mom wants to continue having visitation with the 3 year old. (No)
All of this was bugging my BF but she didn't really say anything until the last visit. Apparently dd was thirsty and there was nothing in the house to drink so they gave her Step moms frozen breast milk. Bf didn't find out until a relative told her. When she confronted Ex and Step mom, they acted like she was the crazy one. And to make matters worse. All of his family is 100% on his side, they're posting all over FB about and using this as an excuse to call my BF out on anything they can.
And if the tap was nasty they could have boiled it first.
I would have stomped her ass for that though!
How could they not have had anything other then breast milk to drink? That's crazy talk.
I'd be ok with the family pictures since they are also family. I might even be ok with visits when dad is deployed, since they are married and a good relationship between daughter and step is important. However, with a stepmom with boundary issues like that, no way.
Yes it's a little odd to me, given the child's age and the fact it's the SM. I wouldn't be happy about it.
That's what she said. Lol
They had tap water didn't they??
Quoting Mrs.Sparkle:
They surely had tap water right????

There are too many issues to begin with and one of them is how this step-Mom came to even be a part of the equation to begin with--she was the "other woman."
So of course your BF is going to probably be even more pissed off about all of this and understandably so.
No juice? Gatorade? Water? Nothing wrong with the 3-year old having that breast milk but I would think from the Mother herself UNLESS the child was starving.
Maybe I am just too skeptical to begin with, but I'm not picking up that this step-Mom was simply trying to nourish and nurture the child and by this I mean that she's attempting to put herself in a position that may not be appropriate.
I know right?
And like I said, the other stuff on their own wasn't too bad. BF just isn't crazy about her because Ex cheated on her while she was pregnant with dd with this woman :-( But she was a lady and decided to let it go. Now that Step mom decided to get all 'Hand that rocks the cradle' on her, she's putting her foot down!
