When I read posts regarding SDs (usually teenagers), they sound horrifying.........
I have 2 SDs aged 8 and 9. They're very sweet now and we get along great. They love me and I love them. What worries me is when they get older, will that change?
I know how teenage girls can be.......I have a 21 y/o biodaughter and a 16 y/o biodaughter, so I'm no stranger.......
Although my BD who is now 21 gave me a very difficult time during her teenage years (and still does......), she was MY child and I could discipline, speak to her, occasionally smack her smart mouth, etc........as I saw fit. With SDs, I will not feel that liberty/authority.
Can I get some feedback on this please?
I can't imagine the thought of these sweet girls one day turning EVIL on me.
Thanks!

Depends on how Mom and Dad
Depends on how Mom and Dad handle things. If the ex-s don't speak bad of each other and you and your husband work out a system to support each other in parenting it will be great!
Best Wishes!
BTW- I am reading Parenting Teens With Love & Logic. It was recommended by a counselor and is a great book!

You all have me scared!
Yikes, I am now terrified about the skids turning into teenagers. I hope they don't kill us while we sleep (my Mom, trying to be funny, put this image in my mind. Thanks Mom).
My gut instincts tell me that Psycho is going to have a freaking hard time with the boys when they become teens, and H and I will have a way easier time, but I am doing all the prep work I can. The older one is a tween now and so far, so good, but any suggestions for warding off problems before they start?

I think SSs may be easier than SDs
But what I found w/SD18 that, of course, when she became sexually active (which we knew because she posted it on FACEBOOK, with my relatives as her friends! GRRRRRR so trashy) that all bets are off.
If you have boys I would be SURE to explain how EASY it is to conceive a child, and what that entails
including child support!
