Step Parenting 101

ok I have 2 sets of twins 12 and 17 one boy and a 16 year old step daughter and 17 year old step son, and all I can say is "let the games begin"! I pray to God to grant me the grace not to go nuts on one specific step child who is constant competition with one of my eldest daughters!!

I dearly love my husband, but he fiercely protects his baby and refuses to discipline her.

I asked 2 friends what to do... the concensus: back away and let him handle it and focus on your marriage!! Hard to do with some questionable risque behavior...."let go, let God"

I pray for strength!!! But I need to focus on a new day of backing off and letting him take care of this problem....

  1. Glad my advice was confirmed ;)

    But seriously, I know it is easier for me to stand over here and advise than for you to be knee-deep in the trenches - so remember I am always here to support you - even if you don't always like what I have to say ;)

    And "Let go and let God" is really quite powerful if you can bring yourself to truly do it - its harder than it sounds!

    Love you! And I am praying for each and every one of you.
