What would it take for you to feel warm towards your step kids.

With me...
They need to stop lying about me to their bio mom. I feel they have a loyalty complex & this is the reason. We are working on it with them & a counselor, but there's a long way to go.

The quote I always use is:
SOME PARENTS MAKE IT HARD TO ENJOY THEIR KIDS.

It is true... Nothing is sexier than seeing your husband be a great father.

I'm so proud of my DH fir following thru on some really tough parenting choices. We are seeing some great progress with rude skids attitude. It's nice. A glimmer of hope. This week I told skid he is a completely different kid & I've really enjoyed him.

Rude step kid came in a great mood the past FOUR times... A great mood! After shit hit the fan & DH made him work &&&& he missed out on my kids birthday football game family time. (We took him back to bio mom instead of him going) We were very clear on why he had to work the day he came over the top rude & why he wasn't going with us. His attitude has been completely different!!! So... We told him how proud we are & we want to reward him by getting to go to a football game! He was so excited. So... We will see if bio mom will let him go.

After a 2 year history of my MIL acting like a jealous, completely inappropriate lunatic & the last week of her spree pushed me over the edge *** we made the boundary-- no visits at our home! With that said lately there has been a big push for her to come to our house. We have had this boundary since January & it's been respected. No pop in visits, no asking to come... But lately. Ugh. Perhaps because the holidays are coming. She has told other family she thinks it's terrible we won't let her come to our home.
