The situation with my nephews got a lot worse after my son was born. I was never sure if it went bad as they went to high school or because of my attention on Spencer. Or if it was that they just had a bad upbringing the first 12 years of their lives.
They taught me a very important lesson - kids really learn their ethics, behavaviour, respect at a young age.....you cant start teaching them these things at 12 or 13 years old. I think we helped them get through those tough years but it was difficult. They are good boys - I just wish they had been able to make a few better decisions (such as not dropping out of high school).
From the posts - it seems that you have a good relationship with both of your step-kids. Do they get along with youngest?
For the most part yes the get along with the youngest. It was hard when she was born, that is when everything fell apart, but now that she is a little older and can play with them, they are good with her. Thank goodness
With each day DH seems a little better!!!

No wonder I stayed away from them for 5 years LOL!
(these are even better than the chocolate croissants on the ship!))
) and have done one hour on my elliptical at least 4 times each week (working on 5 this week!).
He has hypoglycemia and burns through his calories fast! I made him do my elliptical 2 years ago, he did 12 minutes before he almost died
Then he's like "what?? oh...want some??"
