Hey all,

Just wanted to say hi. I'm not new I just created a new account cause my old email was deactivated and I didn't have access to anything. My last post was wayyyyy back in the beginning of January. I had a huge blow up with my step daughter back then. Since then a lot has changed at my house. After a long talk with my wife she now completely disciplines and takes care of the kids. She has a 15 year old daughter, and 2 14 year old sons. I have my own kids but they live outta state. Things have actually been really good. I still bicker every now and then to her. But we have agreed they are not my kids. I am not going to try and boss them around or tell them what to do. It's up to her. If they piss me off I deflect it. It actually works for some weird reason?? I don't know why? By me not stepping in it makes them like me more? I don't understand but it works. Even the SD talks to me again. I still help around the house, and I do everything I did before. I just don't get involved or in the middle with any of the main parenting or discipline. Makes me happy makes my wife happy. Every one wins. If I do have a gripe or a issue. I make sure to take my wife aside away from the kids or while were alone and tell her how I am feeling and she takes care of business.
