Stepmom issues seem to be a hot topic! I would like to hear opinions/experiences from other stepmoms on how they would handle the bio mom that is jealous,bitter,mad what have you. Would you stand up for yourself and push and issue(like the parent/teacher conferences) or would you back down just to keep the peace(not a battle worth pursuing) even if you did nothing wrong to piss off the ex? And why do you feel this why?
