My parents broke up about 3 years ago and only just got divorced not too long ago. At first i was sad they wouldnt be together, but now im glad. they are both nicer now that they arent together.

I really get on well with my mums boyfriend. He's funny and gets our (my sisters and i) sense of humour.

My dads gf, however, is a whole different story.

I cannot stand her.

She's one of those sly bitches who squeeze their way into struggling mens pockets.

I went away this weekend with my dad and his gf and literally every time my dad wasnt around, she'd tell my sister and I that my dad was in thousands and thousands of dollars in debt and that he couldnt buy us much and how they struggle so badly.

I was like, 'i dont care about xmas presents, its only the thought that counts' blah blah blach

so my dad bought us some lunch and his gf was like 'no, you cant use your credit card!!!' right in front of us

she complained about having no money and how he cant spend anything on us, yet they then spend way over $800 on pointless **** that they dont even need.

whereas we struggle to have heating this year, they have a superhero themed kitchen with 4 different cookie jars (at £50 each)

it just makes me so ****ing mad. Like I pay for everything to do with my car, apart from the insurance. She's now demanding I take over (which I dont mind, as I rightfully should do), because it costs way to much and is causing him to go into 'so much debt'

like, i dont mind paying it. Its fair enough... but the whole weekend, she mentioned how she was 'worried' about his money and how she couldnt sleep because of it.

i was like 'bitch, if you're that ****ing bothered about money, you wouldn't spend $80 on a ****ing picture of some superheroes'

i said that in my head of course, but still

does anyone else have a 'step parent' from hell?

this bitch really gets me down, I cant stand her.

Not technically but my Mum and Ian might as well be married.

We get along, I can't tell him everything like I do with my pa, but I like him, he's good for her and I love the fact I have an extended family with the fact I now pretty much have a younger brother, an older sister and my step niece.

[Cal.]

Omg, she sounds sf annoying.

My step-nan was a gold digger, she split up my nan and granddad, and caused my nan's stroke which has effectively ruined her life considering she's only 52 (i think) but is not eligable to work but is given small benefits which she can barely survive on, and she had 2 kids with my granddad, made his company go bust, bled him dry and then one day told him she was moving to Ireland with my auntie and uncle (but one's the same age as me, the other is 1 year younger but this was in like 2009, so she left him after 5 years of marriage, they'd been having an affair since the year before i was born, and in that time she made him go from owning a company with 3 different stores whatever, to having literally no money and having to buy from the bargain bins in the co-op, ****ing bitch)

[Marsh.]

Sounds like hell.

I have a step parent and we NEVER got on for years and years but now I'm older we get on a lot better these days.

Interesting. Do you think the reason you didn't get on at first was your fault - resentment? Too immature?

Partly definitely. I had quite a bit of resentment. But he was also a twat, which I think he'd admit to as well. Neither of us were to blame tbh, it was just one of those things, we didn't do anything to help the situation.

But we can laugh about it now. I hope.

Sincerely Marsh - you have such a brilliant sense of humour and such a razor sharp wit, anybody who wouldn't share a laugh with you about anything must be a right miserable bastard.

Glad you got it more or less sorted anyway, and always remember, that there are a hell of a lot of times when we don't get on with our own real birth parents, so the occasional 'tiff' with a step parent's understandable and not the end of the world.

Oh definitely. Aint that the truth.

Yes, I can always tell within the first few minutes whether I'll get along with someone. If they can't laugh at life in the face then I may not get along too well with them.

[Josy]

Eurgh she sounds like a bit of a head buster Caitlin. You should tell her firmly but nicely that you would prefer if stopped bringing up your dads finances with you and your siblings that you feel that's private business of your dads and if he felt the need to discuss it with you then he would.

I don't have any step family at all but a lot of my friends did when we were growing up and they mostly seemed to have problems with them.

[Smithy]

She sounds awful caitlin, if i were you i'd talk to your dad about it, and see if he is actually having problems with money, or if she's just saying it/exacerbating the situation to make you feel bad

[Kyle]

You use American currency values when you refer to her comments, is she from the States this new gf of his?

My mums fiancé is a controlling twat. I can't stand him. Telling my mum she is wasting money coming up here to see her family. No one is accepting of him in the family.

My parents broke up for a while because my dad had an affair with a hateful strumpet and they got together after it all came out but it didn't last. She could not weather the storm of hatred that spoilt, teenage me constantly brought down upon her.

Good on you.

I love my step mother! she is great

It's my dream to be an evil stepmother.

[GypsyGoth]

Wow Caitlin she sounds like a terrible person. I'm sorry she's in your life hopefully she changes and gets less obsessed with the idea money, or at least stops using it as a kinda weapon. Or if she doesn't improve I hope your dad moves on from her.

And my mom's boyfriend isn't too bad, I get on with him. But yea I kinda prefer it when he doesn't sleep here.

My dad has a new wife (which he married without telling us) I try to be civil with her for my dads sake but my mum recently told me if I let her in, her and I are done.

ugh, i bet that was awful. there was rumours of my dad and her getting married just a few months after being together so i stopped talking to him. then he found out what had been said and said they werent married. wouldnt surprise me if they were though

she has a massive ****ing engagement ring which is bad enough as it is.

my mum is a little bit like that too. is yours a little irrational?

What is it about America you love? I've always dreamt about the idea of moving to Vermont or somewhere like that when I'm older. Just something about the States that intrigues me.

ahh so you're not too far from me then! that's pretty cool!

I love the people. I think they are way kinder in the states then they are here. People actually greet you when you go places. the only bad thing though, is that its so much more dangerous. it's scary.

i know the feeling. i hate people like that. Its a shame when someone is blinded by 'love'

awww thank you

if anything, i hope he wakes up and realises what she truly is. that would be the best christmas present possible.

do you not like him sleeping over cause of sex noises? cause my sister said she hears my mum and her bf and wants to throw herself from a window

yea the first time I heard sex noises I wanted to die, but yea I've got earphones always nearby, I'm used to them by now.

And it's just that I feel I can't be myself and totally relax in the house while he's here, although he seldom comes into the front room (where I usually hang out), and there are loads of little things, like having to lock the bathroom door. But yea my mom likes him a lot, so I suppose it's worth it to have her happy.

My mum is not just a "little" irrational. When she goes off on one god help you!

How did the rumours start? It must have come from somewhere.

Lol, I know that feeling!

I think the rumours were started by her meeting people who my dad works with and saying 'my husband'

She knows what she's doing. She's one of those bitches who think she's so sly and secretive, yet everyone knows what they are doing.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, hearing parents or any family members having sex makes me want to rip my ears off and eat them.

A step mum.
