Step Parents

Okay, my mum is getting married this summer. My whole life, it has just been the two of us. Her fiancé keeps giving me gifts and shit, but I can't tell if he's doing it to be nice, or to 'win' me over. Today, for example, he gave me a copy of 'Footloose', and tomorrow, he's taking me out to buy a new bike.

How many of you have step parents? I'm not used to having a 'father figure' around, and to be honest the whole thing really preaks me out.

my mum and dad diworced when i was like 3, and i have step parents in both sides.. now my mum divorced again!! and that sucks cos i kinda liked my stepfather and now there is this weird guy that i hate and i don`t like my dads gf

Me need snow!!
 
ok, how old are you? and do you hate him? if not than what's your problem? if you dont' hate him, and your mom likes him (obviously they're getting married) than take the gifts (or don't - tell him he doesn't have to, that would be the right thing to do) and be happy. don't be a little whinner 'cause your mommy has a new friend. things in people's lives change, don't expect it to be you and your mom for your whole life...

Dude, thats harsh, a new dad is a big deal. Try having a new person move in with you!

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get that out of the way, then go live in an old folks home, then you should get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then on your first day at work you should get a gold watch. You work 40 years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement, you go drinking and partying, then get ready for high school. You go to elementary school, become a kid, you play, you have no responsiblities, you become a little baby, you go back and spend your last 9 months floating around in a spa and then you finish up as an orgasm!
 
Maybe I'm not dealing with things as well as I should be, but to have grown up surrounded by women and suddenly have some guy move in.. It's a big deal to me. My family also had to move in January so that we could be closer to the hospital that my grandma is in. She raised me, and was my second parent. My grandma had a stroke in November, and has been in the hospital ever since. Switching schools mid year, and getting caught up on four months of missed work is also something that I'm dealing with. Also, in the past year, six people that I know have passed away.

I'm not complaining, because all in all I have a very good life. I'm just trying to point out that I realize things change.

Thanks for the advice and opinions. It's nice to hear from people who have dealt with similar situations.

My parents got divorced when I was like 6, both of them are re-married, and it worked out for the best. My dad and step mom own a few Dairy queens, and my step dad is into a good business also. I don't mind it at all

T-lo

U should try to spend some time with him where he doesn't have to spend money on u. Accept the gifts if he really wants u to have them, but tell him that he doesn't need to. It is weird haveing new people move in with u. both my parents split up, then got together with someone else. It takes some getting used to, but should turn out well in the end.

yo nine-milli.. it wasn't very harsh at all... my parents divorsed when i was 8, and fought with eachother constantly till i was about 11... now they get along, my dad (who i hardly get to see anymore) is remarried (amd my sister is now living with him, than off to college in september), my mom (who i live with) has a bf (who I actually don't like, but my mom is happy, so whatever)... I've been through it... just make sure you arn't thinking about only yourself but also your moms happyness - and just ask yourself if you hate the guy - if you don't, than you shouldn't mind him moving in at all...

It's a differnt situation though, because I have NEVER had a father figure. I'm not just getting used to my mum's fiancé, I'm getting used to living with a grown man. The only male I've ever lived with, is my cat. You're right about her happiness being what matters though. I love my mum, and if her fiancé makes her happy then that's great. I'm not trying to split them up or anything. I'm just trying to deal with it.
