who on here has kids/future stepkids? names? ages? i'm so jealous!! i'm sad i have to wait until june to start trying!!
I have an 11 year old. Being that FH and I have been together almost 10 years, my son already considers FH a parent. Hes great with him and we can't wait to have more!
FSS will be 12 in January. Hes a great kid.
I gotta 5 month old baby boy named Alex...hence my sn spelled backwards. I am soo in love with this child...just wait till you have em.

FSD is going to be 7 on December 4th. Honestly, the grass is always greener...its a big adjustment to all of a sudden live full time with a kid, esp when you are only 24 and thought you wouldn't have kids for at least another 3 years.

I have a 7 year old FSS. He's awesome. I agree it's tough coming into a ready made family, but it's so worth it. his mom isn't too involved, she just has him a 3 days a week after school, we have him weekends and a couple of weedays. It's been tough too since he's been diagnosed with ADHD, trying to find therapy and therapists that work. So sometimes I get angry that I'm not even his birth mother and I do more than she does. It is beyond me how a mother can be perfectly fine with another woman raising her child for her. But to each his own. I couldn't love him anymore if he was my own. We told him Daddy and I aren't just getting married, all three of us are getting married and becoming an 'official' family. We're going to do a three-way sand ceremony. I'm also looking for a peice of jewelry for each of us to symbolize becoming a family. Everytime someone asks us about the wedding when he's around he tells me to tell them about the sand. LOL
The other night we were laying in bed talking and he told me he was so happy we're getting married, and that I was going to be his step mom. So I asked him if he knew what a stepmom was, and he said 'it's another mommy, so now I'll have 2 mommies and what's better than that?' then he added 'you're already like a mom so you won't need to learn anything don't worry'.
