I'm not even sure how I stumbled across this site, but Wow! what a great site! I just discovered it two days ago and have spent hours reading all of your blogs. This site has been such a breath of fresh air to me knowing that I am not alone in the day to day struggle of being a stepmother. Though I am not without my own issues and struggles, I am certainly counting my blessings! My husband and I have been married for nearly two years. I have a SS who is 12 and a SD who is 11. They are 11 months apart. My husband and I have been together for 4 years so the kids were 7 & 8 when we met.
