Which ones were the most helpful to you? (non religious-based)

I'm also looking for books to help me understand others reactions to stepfamilies; how to be effective in setting family boundaries

Thanks!

I haven't read any books at all on stepparenting. I sort of just make it up as I go. Common sense and thick skin are your best weapons.

in all seriousness...Call it the same as your one post "Step-parenting Survival Guide" or whatever it was. I bet you could pull it off!

I'd buy a copy as a reference guide.

I enjoyed step parenting for dummies. I have read a few, but this one is entertaining and based in common sense. I also enjoyed the next wife, the second wifes survival guide. This is good for a laugh.
