Step Families Support Group
Traditionally, a stepfamily is the family one acquires when a parent enters a new marriage, whether the parent was widowed or divorced. This community is focused on many of the relationships and issues that may arise within stepfamilies where you may find answers from some members and you may help other members with their questions.
as most of you here know, i have a stepdaughter as a result of my husbands affair. i found out last year and just in the past month i have met the child and she had spent two different sundays (about 5 hours both times) at our house. well this weekend she spent the night. i was feeling so anxious while she was here. i am use to dealing with our son, but i don't have much experience with this kid and neither does my husband but the weekend actually went well. she does not like to be told no and she pouts when she does not get her way, but i nipped that in the bud as soon as it started. anyway i just wanted to share this with you. thanks for all of your support.

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
she is 2 years old, 4 months younger than our son. she will be 3 in april.
she and our son got a long perfectly the first two times she came over but this past weekend they did nothing but argue. "it's mine,no it's mine!" but for the most part they get along pretty well. he definately acts like the "big brother." our son is normally the only child in our home so by the next morning he was frustrated with her still being here. she had his toy and was protecting it, he got so angry that i swear i saw horns come out of his head and he screamed in a very frustrated tone "that's my toy." almost as to say "go home little girl."
my son knows that she has another home and that she has her own mother (he figured it out on his own)and he said things like "j's mommy is at her home, and do you want your mommy?" once he said to her about me "that is mommy." i did not say anything at the time but i did tell him that i was his mommy and that i was not her mommy, that she had her own mommy..
anyway.....i have been at the bottom of the bottom so we can only go up from here. thanks again for your support.
