So, the kids dad and I have been together for the last six years. We now have 2 children of our own. The three step children from the previous marriage has a few issues, from anxiety to PTSD. Their father worked a lot out of town while the children were stuck in a bad situation. Granted, all the children get along great, for the most part. Anyway, the oldest, AW, will be 13 years old in just a few days. She has the mother instinct, which is like programmed into her brain, how do I get rid of it? She's always getting on to the other kids and playing "mother". It's getting old.... She normally does whatever she wants and takes advantage of her dad. Disciplining a child with PTSD is hard. Her younger sister, CW, is 10 years old. She has a habbit of getting into things that is not hers. She has stole multiple times and lied about the whole situation. When asked about it, her response has been "I dont know why". I have explained to her that when she got older and she steals in a store then she will end up in jail. Still doesn't seem to help. She also likes fighting and aggravating the younger siblings. IDK what else to do to try to get these kids on the right path to do better for themselves. HELP.....
