I think we should all just agree that some people think what she said was inappropriate and others don’t. Neither side is going to persuade the other, and we’ve all made our points clear. Well done to us all. Now, I’m done with this post and I’ll see you ladies on the next one

I understand that adopted kids are loved the same and the moms feel they are 100% theirs, and I don’t think you have to birth a child to feel that way, but Jack is not adopted and I’m just trying to stick with the facts relating to this situation. Her comments would’ve been taken completely different to me if his birth mother was not around and he was adopted, but he’s not.

Annie- Actually to have a healthy pregnancy you should just gain 20 pounds(Most Doctors say 25-35 pounds)but there are a variety of reasons women need a c-section not pertaining to weight.
To each their own.

If I were ever to have a child who had a step mother I would love for her to feel as if it was her own child the same way I would want my “next” spouse to do so. It would make me feel better to know that my child is loved by everyone in his/her fathers household too. Besides, I know from my own experience that even though step parents may divorce the biological parents of a child, it doesn’t mean they will sever all ties to the child, especially not if they have a good bond or if the child has siblings. But of course, I strongly believe that the more people that love a child, the better.

Actually to have a healthy pregnancy you should just gain 20 pounds, that way the baby is very healthy and not TOO big which can cause problems at birth or end up being born via C-section. She sounds like she take care of herself during the special period that is the pregnancy, being very healthy, not like other women who take the opportunity to just eat whatever they want and just get fat.

I still don’t understand the hatred for those comments – I thought they were sweet. My mom/step-mom both lay claim to me – as do my dad/step-dad and if either of them ever said they didn’t consider me 100% theirs…that would be insulting. Same for my son…if he had a step-parent I would hope they loved him as if he were their own. This should make MORE sense now that she has had a child…when Jack is with them do you guys want him not to feel 100% part of the family or like Benjamin is more important? Weird.

“And if I had been Bridget Moynahan, I wouldn’t have been able to take her comments in stride. I would have blown my stack and my ex would have been lucky to ever see MY son again.”

And if you were Bridget Moynahan and I was Tom Brady, I’d drag your behind into court for deliberatly keeping MY son from me so you can nurse a bruised ego. Thankfully for everyone, you are not Bridget Moynahan and the real Bridget is mature enough to keep her problems amongst adults without letting them affect her son and his father, stepmother, and brother’s influence on his life.

Where did all the comments go..? Oh well…

“Adopted kids are a different topic and not really related to this post.”

Actually, it kinda is. Welcoming a child into your family on a permanent basis means to learn to love that child as a parent.

@Shannon That’s exactly what I meant to say. I believe love is love and everyone would knock her if she never spoke of Jack as if he didn’t exist. I’m not judging her, i’m happy and wish more blended families would be like mine and yours. We are blessed.
