[@DeliaNErik]

[@taylford]

You’re so wise and so beautiful Jamie 💕

I am the only bio child of a divorce and my mom wasn't open with her later children with my step father about my "other life" they were told I have a grandma that they don't have and that's where I spend the summers 🥺 i now have a beautiful relationship with a kind and caring man who has a daughter with his ex wife. Based on my experience I WILL be open with our future kids together.

I'm so happy I found you 💛, I have 2 steps sons and I don't have children's so I pour all my love and put all my efforts to them. Our dynamic since to be pretty healthy but their mom is very intrusive in my relationship is like she always needs to be in our lives. Sometimes I don't know how to handle my husband and I fight a lot because of her always trying to manipulate his life with the boys. Please advise.

Wow, your Daughter is a big girl! Much more mature and insightful than what her real age is probably... I'm shocked that other blended families would say/lie that their Stepsiblings are going elsewhere... like Hello?? its not the same as the Toothfairy... Also, this makes a lot more sense why its So hard for you as I thought you only had partial Custody, but from this video realize you ARE doing the "Real Mom"s job with Main Custody. Wow, no wonder why its So hard and Creditless. Im dating a guy who has 2 Sons, which in some ways reading the comments... im glad, bc it seems a lot of issues come with StepDaughters (but i know that you have a belligerent Stepson) -- but I worry with the Mom bc Im pretty sure she's a Narc. Thank you for Creating these videos, for being Honest in such an underappreciated subject and Role. Its helping Me brace myself for whats to come.

Gosh, she is growing!

This is exactly what I’m finding hard at the moment. When my eldest goes to her dads my little one is so confused & it’s hard to explain xx

[@andreadayanagonzalez6860]

Hi Jamie! I just found your videos and I listen to them every free time I have. They are very helpful. I’m just starting in this stepmom role and I’m looking for all the advice I can get. I’m moving in my fiancé and his daughter (who’s with him 50% of the time). I don’t even know what to expect

So when you were pregnant with Reese, how did you talk to the stepkids about it and explain that this baby was going to be living with you full time but they were not? My partner and I are planning to have children, but we are worried his children (age 6 and 8) will be upset or jealous. We do not have shared custody, we only have visitation so they are not able to be with us half the time. They are only able to be with us two weekends a month. We have been working on shared custody, but haven’t had any luck yet and family court has been postponed due to Covid, so who knows how long shared custody will take. Even when we do get shared custody, they are in school and live about 30 min away so we are trying to get them for the summers (so it will not be week on, week off). In general, my partner and I are worried that they will feel like they are being replaced if we have a child.

[@emilycolella526]

But having said that, i’ve wanted to have a child my whole life and it isn’t something I’m willing to give up. Even though I love my stepkids I want more than anything to have a child.

[@sagem4512]

I have a stepson that just turned 9. We are trying for a baby right now. I had the same exact worries and still do sometimes. Especially because my stepson is special needs and requires a lot of time (we have him 50%). At the end of the day... it’s your dream to have children and although your step kids matter, they should not be dictating those huge life decisions. If you want a baby - have one. The rest will figure itself out. My stepson came to me crying 2 months ago saying he wanted a sibling and it shocked me. Try having a conversation about how they would feel about a new sibling - you might be surprised and it might ease your worries.

[@katieeb1049]

this may just be a me thing but i have two step parents and if either of them referred to my half siblings as their "ours baby" it would definitely had made me VERY upset because it would make me feel very invalidated as the step child.

[@jelenaliferi1750]

But you know that you are not their baby, right.? Why would you be upset? You are "our baby" of your mom and dad
