Today, my stepdaughter called to say hello and to give me a warning: she will do whatever it takes to keep me from having a baby with her dad, including pushing me down the stairs. I'm 12 weeks pregnant, and we were going to tell her this weekend. I'm now petrified of a 10-year-old. FML

AFEmoWifey tells us more.

We bent over backwards to make her comfortable. However, I'm not letting her have a say in my baby making. I'm 23 years older than her so she needs to be more respectful.

Push the 10 year old down the stairs? Ok, bad plan.

That is so sad, maybe you can get her some help accepting that relationship? But from now on I'd be extra careful..

Well it must be tough for her to deal with right now. Divorce is difficult for kids, and a new parent in the picture doesn't help much. Talk to your husband so he can talk to her father to daughter, and help her understand that she's having a sibling and needs to accept it. If she continues torturing you seek professional help.

The stepdaughter sounds like a self centered and spoiled little shit who doesn't want to share her dad's attention.

More like she feels like she is losing her dad. Kids say things they don't mean all the time. There has been times my niece has told me that she would hurt/kill me. It happens it doesn't mean the kid is a spoiled brat.

OP knows her enough to know if she will follow thru on her threats or not. Just because she is 10, doesn't mean she wont hurt the baby. Young kids have been in the news all too often, charged with murder.

OP, just read your profile. In case she does decide to follow through with her threat, set up small cameras around the stairs just to be sure. Nice hat BTW.

As a child of divorce, and a self confessed former-brat I have some thoughts on all your judgement. First of all we don't know how long OP has been married to the child's dad, it could have been years and so she isn't so new, and second, I don't care how old the child is, if I was 12 weeks pregnant and a child phoned me (remember she didn't just say it as a passing comment, she obviously thought about it enough to ring her up and warn her- which is disturbing) to tell me that she would push me down the stairs to stop me having the baby, I wouldn't want her near my family, I would be worried for the safety of my child when it was born. I get being worried about losing attention, but when my father remarried I complained to him, I would never have dreamed of saying anything to my step-mom. I was ignored for a while when my half-brother was born, but it was the same when my full sister was born, it didn't matter that he's only a half sibling, it was only different because I wasn't there all the time. My half-brother is 10 years old now, I absolutely adore him, and my step-mom for that matter and I couldn't imagine him even grasping the concept of purposely pushing someone down the stairs. You all need to step back and think about how you would react if anyone, child or not (especially a child with a potentially poisonous mother trying to win her over like I had) threatens to push you down the stairs or to harm you or your child in anyway. Personally I think 'precisely' was an apt response on behalf of the OP.

It's time the dad mans up and handles this.... That is not cool

Divorce is no excuse to threaten to murder your step mom's fetus or newborn.

And apparently to the retard who thumbed me down, they think threatening the life of an infant is ok.

This girl sounds psycho, get your husband to take her to get some help!

Therapy? And possibly a restraining order?

Sounds like she needs some help. But you can help her accept it better by assuring her that the baby isn't going to replace her by letting her know that shes still loved have special days with her where u take her to do something fun

Well you can't exactly hide it from her, so just sit her down with her dad and chat about it. If she does try anything, you'll have to take her to a psychologist or something. Good luck and congratulations for your happy news :)

I'd give the little bitch a smack for that. But of course, tell her father and get him to talk to the girl's mother if she's around and warn her that if she does anything to upset the pregnancy, there will be very serious consequences. Also, kick her down the stairs. Little wench.

I would suggest therapy or maybe an exersist.
