Let me start off by saying that I love my kids. I have a (almost) 4 yr old daughter and a (almost) 3 yr old step daughter. They're both great kids and I love them very much. I guess the only reason joined and am writing this is because of my step daughter. She really is a good kid but she whines and cries constantly. For EVERYTHING. Most days it's just too much for me to handle. Shell cry if she doesn't get what she wants, if there's a song she wants to hear, if she doesn't want to do something we asked her to, etc. We try to have patience with her, especially me, but it can be too much.
