Please stop hating on your ex’s new wife, unless of course she was a home wrecker, then she deserves your wrath. But in cases were you and your ex divorced and he moved on and is now remarried, stop the dayum drama!
Remember, your children are around this woman and at her mercy many times. If you treat her like the scum of the earth she may very well take it out on your children either consciously or unconsciously. Many times step-mothers are not “evil” as the fairytale suggests, they are loving, giving folk that are doing their best to accept and care for children that are now dealing with the divorce of their parents. And please do not try and turn your children against the very woman that is helping to raise them….that is so jacked up. You are doing a disservice to your own kids.
So grow the hell up and be cordial to your children’s step-mother! This is a woman that can help you to raise well-balanced children with high self-esteem, unshakable faith and ambition.

I recently had an acquaintance of mine share with me some problems she was having in her family. She has a son from a previous marriage and she has since remarried. Her son we’ll call Jonathan as she has stated is irresponsible, selfish and lazy. He refuses to work and is failing school that mind you she and her husband are financing. My friend feels strongly that her husband HATES her son.
I think her husband is sick of her son being sorry and expects him to step up and take some responsibility for himself and stop wasting their hard earned dollars. Jonathan is 21 years old and should be either working or going to school full time and bringing home passing grades. We as mothers (myself included) need to stop coddling these boys (and girls) and force them to grow the hell up!
Now I will say the husband needs to be concerned and fair in his dealing with Jonathan but bottom line is Jonathan is a grown man and needs to start acting as such.
