Two weeks of living in a hotel, yuck!!
I have "S", and so far she is doing wonderfully. We arrived at my house Thursday evening with me driving one hellaciously large Uhaul. To be truthful it was not that big but it sure felt like I was driving a mack truck.

I met 'the princess' last evening
I have been reading for a few months now, the blogs upon this site where SM's describe their SD's as "Princesses" (likely of Entitlement). I had counted my lucky stars that my FSD didn't act like that.
Last night, the princess reared her very ugly head.

For Florida SM's
Someone made a comment about liability for continuing education that worried me. I did some case law studies investigation and found this:

SO and the FCAT
I had a conversation with SO about the FCAT and the kids scores last evening. He was under the impression from listening to skuttlebutt that the FCAT was going to be done away with, therefore was not important. I pointed out to him in the last two years they have introduced a science section, year one the score didn't "count" for graduation, year two it did. How if they are introducing new testing sections are they just going to do away with it?

Would this be overstepping?
Ok so the fskids both failed sections of the FCAT which they need to pass to graduate HS and get a Diploma. Florida Virtual Schools offers a free online test prep course to help kids. BM and BF think it would be 'unfair' to require the skids to take the course over the summer.
Not my kids, not my problem in this area isn't working for me. I see a future filled with these kids never leaving home as they wouldn't be able to read or add.

Skids update
Grades are in: Both made A/B honor roll for the forth quarter.
Sounds good right? Then we got the low down from their guidance councelors. They both failed the FCAT. Have to pass to get a HS Diploma, if they don't pass they get a certificate of attendence instead of a HSD.
For those not in Florida the test grades out at levels 1 thru 5. Kids must have a minimum of a level 3 in all areas, reading, math, science and writing.
FSD got a level 1 in reading.
FSS got a level 2 (LOW 2) in math.

Rambling, misc content, basically trying to work it out in my head
SO started his new job today. He seems to like it, but working ten hours after a month plus off has exhausted him and he is currently sprawled across my couch, sound asleep, snoring loud enough to drown out the TV if I were to turn it on.
I am apparently a "bad" (future) step parent
I did not want this post to get lost in the 70+ responses to the orginal post of what makes a good step parent verses a bad one. However I would like to go through the original posting on a step by step basis.
A good stepparent genuinely loves his or her stepkids.

Seems like a lot of us had a hard day:
Hope some of these one liners give you a small smile or chuckle.
If I have to "put my big girl panties on and deal with it" many more times, I'm gonna wear out the elastic and really show my a**!!
If you have a man that cheated on you, send the new girlfriend flowers and thank her for saving your life!
Awwwww, I missed you. *Reloads Gun* But I won't miss again!
Nah. I don't have an attitude problem, well I have an attitude but it's not a problem lol
I don't need anger management...don't piss me off and I won't get angry!
