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. |

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) Last edited by Cal.; 07-12-2014 at 06:08 PM. |

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. |

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

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

..I agree with Josy, Caitlin..it isn't really up to your step-mum to discuss your dad's finances with you..maybe tell her that you don't feel comfortable talking about it unless your dad himself decides to talk to you...it's quite an odd thing for her to do really...

Thanks everyone for the advice! I really appreciate it. It just annoys me cause my sister was speaking about going to Uni next year (at my birthday meal last week) and as soon as my sister mentioned it, she was like 'oh you do know your dad cant pay for it. he's $75,000 in debt' and i wanted to punch her

I've seen you mention Harrogate too, which is why I thought you were a Brit. You've been around a bit, where do you prefer? Here or North America?

and lol yeah thats where I live now. Good old Harrogate. Where about in south yorkshire are you? and hmmm its so hard to choose. I love it here, but i much prefer America. The thing is, my mum is scottish and my dads american, so if I move back, i'd have to go and live with him and his awful gf, and leave my mum behind if my mum and dad were both going, i'd be there in a heartbeat

Wow sorry Nina. And it puts you in a tough situation because if you complain to your dad about her it might not go so well.
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.

I'm on the border between Sheffield and Rotherham. Depends what mood I'm in where I'm from that way 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. |

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.

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. |

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. |

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