my partner has two boys from his last marrige- 3 and 8yrs old. we have been living together since the start of this year, the boys stay with us every weekend and half of the school holidays also my partner babysits every tuesday night so his ex can go bowling. his boys are very demanding, and fussy. i feel like i was just starting to get into the hang of things and be a good stepmother. then just under 2 weeks ago i gave birth to a georgeous little girl, i feel like im doing a good job at being a mother but as soon as it come to the weekend and i have to be a stepmother as well i become very overwhelmed and i havent been coping well- this weekend i spent half of my time at my mothers. i feel like a b*tch, i love my partner very much and i could never ask him to choose between me or the kids, but im losing faith very quickly that i can cope- i feel like i just got instant family. i keep thinking that i need to leave him for a while, just seperate while im trying to get the hang of it but i know that i couldnt cope without him. im so confused. ↓
