Guh. Stepmothers. I feel ya... @_@ Mine's not even my stepmother yet and she's still annoying me. *rolls eyes* What is it about stepmothers anyway?

I don't know. You, me, Jennie, Cinderella- can no one win with them? Though I'm seriously just baffled at this point. I don't feel mad, I just pity her. She's a child who throws a fit when the world stops revolving around her and Ben, and it's only because she's so maladjusted. I pray the three of us can go do some sort of family counselling, so that I can bring my concerns up to her face, instead of whining back and forth with my dad about her. She needs to know that she's making alot of people miserable. D:

I think the issues your having with Kristie are similar to the issues I'm having with Ramona. It still hasn't been that long since she moved in (and you came back from school), so you're still in an adjustment period, which tends to be quite frustrating for everyone. Not to mention, this is the first time that you (and me), as a fully grown woman, has to share space (and a father) with another fully grown woman. Women are strange creatures. There is no denying that. And we are very, very emotional. So when you put two women in a house together and both of them want things their way it tends to cause an uproar

You know, it's funny that you should say that, because I went and apologized to Kristie for saying something (I'm not sorry for saying it, I'm just sorry for saying it the way I did), and she pointed the same thing out to me. That we are a mixed family, and the dynamics of it are very different from what I've been used to for the past 8 years. The last time I lived with more than just my dad was when I lived with my mom. Now I am having to share my dad, and the living situation is very different. So I think you're very right when you say that we're both still adjusting. We all are, actually. I was expecting things to fall neatly into place, and the truth is that it's going to take some effort on everyone's part. I guess the thing that gets me is that Kristie doesn't seem to be putting as much effort into it as Dad and me, but who knows. Could just be our perception of the situation.

Haha, yeah same here. I always feel like I'm the one doing all of the compromising... but I guess Ramona is compromising too, I just don't see it. lol. Ah...Ch-ch-ch-chaaaanges! XD

I really think it is all about women being forced to share spaces- particularly spaces they have felt territorial in. Men just don't get how territorial women are

[on_dragon_wings]

That's basically what I was saying, verbatim...lol... Guess it must be true then. ^_~

And you say you don't like psychology? You're a friggin' neofreudian in the making. o.o But everything you've said is probably extremely true, though now that we all live together I feel admittedly less jealous than I did when Dad was never home because he was down here hanging out with her (if I get jealous of anyone, it's her kids when my dad takes them places, like the movies or something). But it's one thing for Kristie to get understandably jealous, and another for her to overreact to everything because she's maladjusted. Which is the case. :/
