Anyone else get exhausted by the constant nitpicking from a HCBM?
Today we got a long text saying she didn’t eat the whole day.
Except… she DID eat. Multiple times. She had snacks, she had meals, and she was offered the exact same food everyone else was eating. Do we have to take freaking pictures ?
What frustrates me is the assumption that we’re somehow neglecting a child every time she doesn’t get exactly what she wants. Kids say weird things. They exaggerate. They’ll tell one parent they “didn’t eat all day” because they didn’t like lunch, and suddenly we’re getting lectured as if we starved the kid.
I swear, being a stepparent is death by a thousand paper cuts. It’s not usually the huge things. It’s the constant comments, accusations, and criticism over tiny situations that are completely normal.
If she was actually hungry, do people really think we’d just sit there and refuse to feed her?
Sometimes I feel like no matter what we do, it’s wrong. We’ve had bigger issues, why did I get triggered? I might be hitting a breaking point. It might be time to leave yall.

Hi guys, I received this to my email. It was addressed to my first name only and it was 5pm ET so when I tried to call the bank, they were all closed and couldn't find out more information. I am just here for an emotional check. Identity theft gives me so much anxiety, my whole life stops. I've dealt with hard inquiry before to my credit report so this triggers me. I guess knowing someone has experienced this before, wouldn't make me feel so alone. I also feel stuck and don't know what I can do right now so stay proactive instead of waiting tomorrow for the bank to open.
