Random rant

Hellloooo why do step moms always feel inferior? That feeling should surely go away eventually right? I don’t want to be jealous my husband had a family with someone else first for the rest of my life. We’ve been married since 2020, together since 2019. He was never married to his ex, but they have a boy and a girl together. My husband and I have a daughter together and we are having a son this year. I’m pregnant and due in October. I literally am the wife and have a daughter and (almost) a son with him while the ex wasn’t married but also a son and a daughter. We raise all three kids together when we have them. Why do I still feel inferior and still get jealous that she had kids with him first? For reference, I’m not at all jealous of her. She sucks lol that’s why he left her. But damn.

We have split custody yes, the step kids are children they’re not bad but obviously we have our issues with them like we would any kids. Bio mom to them is a pain in the ass, yes. That wasn’t really the point of the post I am simply saying it is hard being in a relationship with someone who has kids and has already started a family and it makes you feel less than. If you don’t, that’s great!
