I am sooooo excited! I ordered Stepmonster by Wednesday Martin on Amazon Sunday and it should arrive any day now!

I've heard nothing but good things about this book and I am ready to dive right into it!

Anyone want to discuss...what are your favorite parts I should pay extra attention to?

It is a brilliant book, and the only one of its kind that does not put forward the "if you try hard enough step parenting can be a walk in the park" kind of naive philosophy. Very insightful and useful. I skipped through parts that were not so relevant to my situation but it is all good. I gave sections to my DH to read and it really opened his eyes to some things, like why I and a lot of SMs had not had success bonding with SKIDS.

This book helped me so much. It's not so much that it tells you how to fix things, but it puts the issues I was having into a clear light, rather than all these muddled emotions swirling around in my mind and heart. With this clarity, I was able to make improvements.

This reminds me, I think I'll go back and re-read some things...

Hopefully I will have the book today or tomorrow. I just took a look at the tracking and it moved out of Atlanta at 9:30 last night!!!!! No skids this weekend either...maybe i'll be able to bang out the entire book this weekend??? I hope so, I love getting deep into a book! I did that with The Help and enjoyed it very much!

I attempted to find it at a bookstore locally with no luck, so I tried to get it on my iPad but it wasn't available thru iTunes bookstore so I had to resort to Amazon, which I don't mind too awful bad other than waiting on it to arrive!
