Well we had a cookout for fathers day my brother, niece4, and brothers GF came. I was very pleased at how she treated my niece. My niece would run to her and they played together. My brother didn't get mad when his GF corrected his daughter. They were like a regular family unit. You would have thought it was their child together.
I have to say my niece is respectful. The BM doesn't cause any problems. And my brother isn't a disney dad. Its like the perfect example of a good step family.
Had to get this out I'm kind of jealous that their life runs much more smoother than mine. And my brothers GF gets so much respect from my niece and my brother. I'm glad they are all happy though i wouldn't want my family stuck in step hell like I am....
Also i loved his girlfriend before i saw how she interacted with my niece. Now I think the world of her.
