I will start out by saying this is my first ever blog. I think that it can be a good way to let other step parents and parents read the challenges and success's that I have. I will start by telling you about myself and my family so you as the reader can have an idea of who we are.
I am 25 years old, and I have been with my wife since 2012. We met online, while I was in my first year of college. We met and we were together for about 3 months and she wanted me to meet her, at the time, 3 year old daughter. After that we were married in 2015. We have been together for going on 6 years. My step daughter is now 8 going on 9.
So now that you know a little about me, I can start. My step daughter, is a great kid, very intellegent and she knows it. As a step parent i have definatly had my ups and downs with my step daughter, her father, my family, her mothers and fathers family. Recently, we have moved and my step daughter is pushing buttons. She is trying to see what she can get away with because we were living with my mother and her family and they let her get away with everything and go against what her mother and I would say. She now has an awful attitude problem. I have been trying to be patient but i was brought up where you did not be disrespectful to any adult. My dad has been married a couple times and I was respectful even when his ex wife was not. I do try to be patient but its not as easy as i thought it would be. Who else has this issue with a 8 or 9 years old?
This is the first blog or post, whatever you would like to call this. Please feel free to put your expience and how you handle it.
