how sweet!
my step son keeps asking when we'll be having babies too. hes so excited to be a big brother. at first, i think he thought babies come right after the wedding so around the time of the wedding, he would come up to me and kinda hug me leaning his head on my tummy or say something cute to my tummy 'hi baby' , so we had to explain to him that it may be a couple years before a comes! hes gonna be a great big bro!

LOL thats sooooo cute. Do you have him most of the time or only on a schedule like alternate weekends? Its so great you guys all get along well. I never wanted to date men with kids because I was afraid of the instant family. But to see that its working out so well for you and Nate makes me happy.

It alternated equally when DH and his ex wife lived close, but both moved so its a different story now. It's split up between school year and summer and alternating breaks like Xmas and spring break. Its far from what we want right now.

Interesting you mentioned the thing about not wanting to date men with kids before. I just mentioned that to another step-mommy bc I feel like I hear that alot and some negative things attached to it, that I try to not take personally. I guess all I can really say is that there are some good men out there who have children, who are wonderful fathers, and I think some of them don't get enough of a fair chance because theyre prejudged (oh, it won't be exciting for him when they have their own kids, for one example of many). The kind of father that he is to his son made me love DH that much more!!!! Its a beautiful thing to see. I can't really explain it.

I am a step mommy to 3!!! Yup, count 'em...1...2...3! And DH and I are TTC to have one from us! DH was in an abusive relationship/marriage but had 2 gorgeous sons and one beautiful daughter. I am not a religious person, but I am sooooo blessed! Their ages: 3, 5, 7.

I totally agree with your comment about seeing what a great Daddy DH is makes you love him more. My DH adores his children and if he had it his way, he would be Mr. Mom!! And as far as not being excited for more kids...I think DH will be the most excited since we have been so much to be together, get married and get to the point of having a little one of our own. Some people just don't understand and if they are not in the situation, I don't think they ever will. Lucky us!! Step-sweeties are bonus children!!

hear hear. I only came across one man who didn't want to get involved with me because I had a son. (I asked him out)
I was amazed that I never really had a problem dating considering I was a 'ready made family.'

Dh came along when Aidan was 5, and I felt bad for him at times b/c it must have been hard for him to get involved with someone and not have her all to himself... My son's father has NOTHING to do with his life so I have him 100% of the time, and 100% of the responsibility.

The way DH came into this relationship and fell in love with both of us, makes me love and trust him even more than I already do...

Havent been on in a while, but saw this post & had to reply, I am a step mom to 2 boys, 7 & 14.

I agree w, the poster who said that alot of dads dont get the recognition the deserve. We have the boys, EVERY weekend, & 2 Nites a week as well. My DH is a fantastic dad to them. Single dads are sometimes unsung heros..

I agree that part of the reason I fell in love with DH was the seeing the kind of father he is.

I can't imagine my life without either on of them.

the way ppl deal w/ circumstances really shows their true nature. and for as many ppl may prejudge ready-made families, you find just as many openminded/openhearted ppl, thankfully! ready-made fams, and step fams, we have our own unique dynamics, thats one way to look at it.

i have 2 stepsons also. there 17 and 13. i don;t get along with the 17 year old. but the 13 year old and i are very close.

my dh loves his sons very much. he is a great daddy also. we get the 13 year old every other weekend. this year we have him for christmas i am excited. i can't wait to give him his presents.


the 17 year old and i had a blow out 4 weeks before my wedding. i don't even want to repeat what he called me. my dh had a talk with him and told him he isn't to speak to his wife like that and to apolgise to me but his son refuses to. so until then i want nothing to do with him. i don;t wish the kid any harm i wish he would grow up and realise the world isn't out to get him. i also told my dh i would never stop him from seeing his son. i just am not ready yet to forgive him. he can go out to dinner or whatever with him i just can't right now. he really hurt me with what he said to me. it hurts because i been nothing but good and nice respectful and givng to him to be treated that way.



when i first met my step children i told them both i am not hear to be your mom i am hear to be your friend.

My husband is a step-dad to my 9 year old son Lucas, and we have a 17 month old son together. His name is Blake
