Well today I took my daycare kids to the library and read a great article on teenagers and chores. About how important they are and the consequences if you don't do them. A great article if anyone wants to read it Decembers issue and is exactly what we are struggling with. DH thinks his kids are so busy that we shouldn't push more onto them and I think they are a part of this family and need to help.

I think I have it pretty good :)

Okay so I can complain with the best of them and I have my fair share of problems but after reading some of the blogs and forums I think I am lucky.
I really like my SK's. Do they drive me crazy, occasionally, are they sometimes rude, yes, but they try in school and don't drink much,don't do drugs (that i am aware of), no stealing, so I think that is pretty good right.

Therapy the pros and cons

So I started going to therapy about 4 months ago.
Not to sure if this was a great decision or not.
i have always treated my SD's, twin 17 year olds, like my own. They have been in my life for 10 years and have been living with us for the last 4 full time, 100%. DH and I also have a 5 year old boy and 2 year old girl.
Well, I finally admitted to myself that I do love my Bio kids a little bit more. Great to finally say it but the guilt is killing me. Do I love my SD's any less-NO, do I always like them-NO. And that is okay. Just like my other kids.
