We have a WhatsApp group, myself, husband, ex and her mum. Anything to do with SS goes into the chat, so we all know what’s going on. Xx
@Jennifer your situation sounds very similar to mine, my husband and BM's relationship ended around 9 years ago and I've been with him for 6 years. I made a lot of effort at the start to be friendly with her and even asked if she wanted to meet for a coffee but she blanked me. It's really disappointing for my SK's that she can't put her own feelings aside so that we can all get along
@Clarissa was it your husband that suggested it? That sounds like it would be really useful 😊
I message my step kids mum for all the arrangements, my partner doesn't even speak to her anymore. It's perfect😂 (yes I'm a control freak)
@Emily ah I hadn't thought of that option too! Haha
My partners ex refused to talk to him and would only message me, 4 years later and she's just set up a WhatsApp group for the 3 of us. There's already a lot of snidey comments and passive aggressiveness but it does the job 🫠
Yes he made the group and stated this is for things about SS only, as we don’t need to talk to each other about anything else and it keeps everyone who is involved in SS care up to date with anything we all need to know. Xx
Yes we have a WhatsApp group called 'SD's Planning Committee' included the mum, dad and me (stepmum) works all as it used to be a nightmare to get dad to arrange anything with ex so we just arrange everything between us women now.
Group chat on WhatsApp that I keep on mute
I have nothing to do with my step kids mum after 6 years she still won’t even say hello to me. She hasn’t been with my partner for 14 years so no reason for it. I would much rather a group dynamic it would make things so much simpler as I do most of the parenting when my step kids are here anyway.
