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..

Your stepdaughter is Kayla from Desperate Housewives?

Time to take this kid to get some help. That is a cry for help.

Put laxatives in her dinner plates. She'd be pushing something else...

Ask that spoilt brat to go **** herself

I don't think she is a psychopath like everyone is saying. This girl is young, with separated parents, and her dad is remarried. I would be upset too. And she is probably worried about being replaced with a new baby. She definitely needs therapy to help her with problems from her parents divorce and new stepparent.

This is true, but on the other hand, she isn't the only child to have gained a stepparent or a half-sibling at a young age. Not all kids go round threatening to bring on a miscarriage.

That's horrible, OP. :( I'm sorry to hear that she feels so strongly against you having a baby, especially considering all you do for her. I would definitely recommend talking to her father; it's his and his ex-wife's job to discipline her for that kind of behavior. SADLY, as a camp counselor, I've heard worse. Kids are impressionable that young and you can bet her mother said something around her and she's parroting it back to you. Personally, I'd stay out of it as much as possible--but someone recommended therapy, and I don't think that's altogether a bad idea. Ten is a rough age, but hormones are only going to be worse in the coming years. She's going to need to sort out her malicious feelings toward you sooner than later -- while there's still an option for peace. Good luck, OP! I'm praying for an easy, quick resolution. (And that you and your baby are safe.)

My stepmother and my half-siblings were the wedge that drove my dad away from me. It's too log to type here but she had Münchausen by proxy syndrome. We already decided before she had a clinical mental illness we didn't like her. Don't deny the girl the right to see her father.

Never. I asked her to live with us. I bought a house with enough bedrooms for her to have her own room. I've also painted it and decorated it with the colors and things she picked out. What more can I do?

Sorry, OP, but there isn't any way to please everyone on FML. You can cope any way you please as long as it's not illegal :)

I like how you asked her to live with you, as in you were already taking her dad away and that she could decide to let you do that or be forced to live in a house with someone she at least can't get her head around right now in order to be with her parent. And not only are you taking her dad away to live with you, but you've planted a child without any of her input or stability. I'm aware this is probably not how the story goes but it's almost what it sounds like so far

Not even. I asked her because it would be a stable loving home. Her mom has been laid off and is moving into a third boyfriends house with her three daughters. I asked her because she said she hates moving around like that.

201- what do you even mean? Of course OP bought a new house and her and her husband have moved into it! What are her and her husband supposed to do? Live in the same house as the ex-wife?
