Ok, so the thing is with me and my fiance, we are adopting his ex’s kids. She was my best friend! And she passed away. And I know I will never EVER replace their mother, their father was never there for them. And I know I want to adopt them. I love these kids and I love my fiance. I just dont know if Im going to be good ya know? The kids are 4 and one and a half. The one and a half year old is teething and its VERY difficult! Any tips would be welcome!!

A few definitions 2 years ago

First, I guess I ought to have defined for myself what a “good step-mom” is. In the sense that I promote the growth and development of my step-children, I’m an excellent step-mom. But I find it very difficult not to get involved in discipline issues with my kids (which is discouraged by all the leading experts in step-parenting). So I’m certainly a wicked stepmother in their eyes. But…I continue to work on my parenting skills, step-parent or not. :)
