Step mom needs to stay in her lane. Tell her it’s a gift to my son. Check her and tell the dad to let her know to stay in her place cuz that’s your son. U cant coparent with someone of that nature. Ugh. U do for your child the way u choose point blank.
Just look at her and say Bless your heart!

Step mom sounds unhappy and is using you and your son as her pin cushions. Don’t give her an inch. Let it go and keep being the cool mom.

I wouldn’t even text her back. It’s not her decision. It doesn’t affect her. Besides not texting her back will probably drive her nuts.

OK I won’t say he’s not her kid cause in a way he is and I would just kindly say that your other kids are to young for phone and that when you guys give our kids something I don’t question you about
Ummm just smile, ignore and hope for them to be blessed. Ain’t nobody telling me what can I buy or not buy my child. Nor I would consider opinions on that 
Nope. She’s a bitch.

Girl, that could not be me. I would have put her in her place. That is your son, and you do what you want for your son. She has nothing to do with what you do for your son. If I were you I would definitely put her in her place and block her. And I would definitely have a nice little chat with your sons father, and let him know to get his woman under control.

As a stepmom myself, I would have no problem with this at all. He is your son. Both you and your ex are entitled to care for your son as you wish. I think it’s lovely a child is lucky enough to be able to receive something from a parent. As for the watch, kids these days barely wear watches and need to in my opinion to help them with time management and length of time. Personally, I think she’s worried that he’ll actually be receiving messages from mom and able to reply a-lot quicker. Sounds like Stepmom wants to keep ‘her’ life very secretive from mom. Stepmum could also be speaking on behalf of the child’s dad, with or without his permission. I think a child is very lucky to be able to have more than one parent if put in that situation which is not the child’s fault if the parents separate. As long as the child is safe, happy and healthy. Good on your mum, you’re doing a great job and don’t ever let anyone make you feel any different 
Don’t mind her anger. She’s a bitch!

You are better than me because she would’ve had my foot down her throat for trying to tell my shit about my own child. The nerve!
Tell her you will buy your child whatever the hell you want and she needs to keep her feelings in check.
She’s making a big deal over nothing. You had an extra Apple Watch, it’s no different than giving your kid your old cellphone.
This is why stepfathers who deal with fathers are better. They don’t complain over crazy stuff like this.

I’m a mother and also a stepmom. If the dad and stepmom have physical custody of your son then I can kind of see why she might be upset but otherwise I don’t get it. I never cared what my step kids mom got them. They are her kids
Um she can just stay out of it. She made herself look and sound dumb for even complaining about it for one and for 2 what happens with YOUR kids should be between you and the father if there is a problem he should have the balls to address the issue at hand. Not send wifezilla to do his job
What a joke… it’s your son, she has not a damn say.

I would say I didn’t realize it needed to be addressed as I saw no issue. Please have “insert father’s name” call me and we will have the discussion.
It is better to coparent to then To battle… and yes she may be a step parent but she is till in the authority role in their home. Perhaps it would be a great idea for Bio parents to meet and set boundaries together regarding interaction regarding parenting concerns. Sometimes it works better when step parent does communication and sometimes it works better for bio parents. It truly depends on the adults. Remember you all are vested in raising children together and the main focus should be what is best for the children. Best of luck!

I would explain to step mom that you gave birth to the children not her and you don’t owe anyone any kind of explanation. That is ridiculous! Stepmom believes she has more control of your life and children for some reason and you need to bring back down to earth. I wouldn’t have this! I wouldn’t even be asking for advise really. She doesn’t have any rights except the fact she is married to the children’s father. She shouldn’t even be taking them to get hair cuts with out consulting you first not the other way around.

I agree step mom is being a b***h.
This is a slagging off session disguised as a request for advice.
You know you dont need to consult the step mum for ANYTHING, but you wanted to vent about her unacceptable reaction to the watch.
Let me tell you, its not about the watch.
Oh wow I can see now no one on these comments has ever had to be a step parent maybe possibly the step parent was just trying to help by teaching that over spoiling can really mess a kid up or was just trying to gain some respect 9 times out of 10 being as she said she gave her son a gift means that the father has custody and if the father is married to the step parent and the step parent is around more than the mother then yeah she would definitely and should have some kind of say so do you people even realize how hard it is for a person to be a step parent? Must not. I bet if the mother was in the other persons shoes and had to be a step parent maybe then she would understand

I believe I’d tell step mom to stay in her lane.
If dad and stepmom have custody then I could see them preferring a heads up…but still…. That’s a conversation for you and dad.
First of all bih… THIS MY SON! Your position may hold weight to my ex, but it don’t hold SH*T when it comes to what I squeezed from out between MY legs!!
If it bothers them or goes against some rule at their house then they can restrict or not allow the use of the watch while he is at their house.

The father may have put her in some sort of athoratatve role in your children’s lives but that does not mean that you have to report to her. It’s YOUR child. You need to have a talk with the father. He should be the one handling her not you. Ignore her. The fact that she even thinks she has a say is laughable. The job of a step parent is love and support and whatever BOTH biological parents agree on. Nothing more. Period.
