ok I NEED HELP. My husbands little girl lives with us. He has had physical custody of her since she was 1 1/2years, she is now 4 1/2. My husband and I have been together since his girl was 2 1/2 so I have been a BIG part in her life for most of her life. Her mother sees her every other weekend, holidays, and summer. My question is what are MY rights of helping bring her up. Is it my place to answer qustions like why she doesnt see her mommy that much. ( oh I am with her most of the day so we are very close) Whose belly was I in. What about when she gets older and al of those questions,,,boys dating, school, sex, shaving legs...HELP!!!!

I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to this question. It depends on your situation, and what you, and everyone involved is comfortable with. Ya, know? If BM thinks it is overstepping, then not really a hill to die on, back off. If you aren't comfortable with answering, then don't. I don't think this is black and white, but with time, I think you'll know where the boundaries are.

These are conversations that you need to have with your husband. Some men want their partners to be 100% in on the raising of their children and some do not. Talk to him and see how much he wants you to discuss with his daughter when she asks those types of questions
