Hi! I'm two years into being stepmom to two teenage girls, 14 & 16. Well, last night we had a family talk that escalated FAST...this has never happened before. It all came about because their dad wanted to spend the day with them, after taking several days off work this week to hang out with them over their fall break, and them making other plans those days.

The tide may be turning, dear friends.  For the first time in almost 6 years, I feel like MR. ED is finally tired of his DDs walking all over him.  SD17 is feeling the consequences of her actions and it ain't pretty.  There is hope after all!
