I guess something’s going on but I’m not going to worry about it. I’ll be brought in if it’s serious so I’m going to turn up the volume on the tv and not worry #StepParenting

I get to join in on #Caturday today!

It’s my stepkids’ mom’s year to host Christmas, so we had four (!) feline festivity participants. The oranges are Parker (bigger) and Toby (smaller), and the greys are Stella (no socks) and Mavis (white socks). Not a good pic, but it’s the first time I’ve caught all four in one shot — they rarely stand still close enough to take family photos.

Coparenting with someone who openly criticizes you in front of kids. 🙃

Sometimes, it's the hard stuff of life that shapes who we are &, as we learn about those things, we fully grasp their impact. With that in mind, I'd have to say that my interests also include #childhoodillness #miscarriage #divorce #stepparenting #blendedfamily #dementia #mentalillness #cancer #kidneydisease #poverty #childhoodpoverty #selfcompassion

Nobody told me that stepparenting would involve this much infosec research about tween / teen apps, their privacy and PII policies, and the developers behind them

followed by fruitless conversations with the kids about how not thrilled I am about what I find out

Hey guys.

First post.

I used to talk about #divorce a lot on the gram, but have moved beyond it. Now, my public thoughts are mainly on #longdistancerelationships, #mentalhealth, #mensmentalhealth, and #stepparenting.

I look forward to getting to know everyone.
