Forward Thanks for stopping by and sharing that. In every thing I do with her, when we talk about the future, it is with the boys at the top of the pyramid. I think it is important.
They come first. Our time and our wants are after that consideration. That is not a sacrifice in my mind it is just right.Period.
I have no idea if I will be any good as step parent but I feel if I am very clear that their Dad is their Dad, and I support that, then that is is good rule.
It is the same advice we give LBS parents
"Not your job to repair the relationship between them and their father (or maybe mother too) it is your job not to damage it."
The other part is that I never want to compete with them for their Mother's time. Or allow the desire for "our" time to take away from their time within reason.
She seems very balanced in that regard.
And I understand that.
Wendy thank you for the good wishes!
My goal is to some day be the person my dog thinks I am
