I'm sorry, but I have to laugh at some of these posts. They crack me slap up. Now I know they're supposed to be serious. I get that part. But are you guys kidding me. The posts I'm refering to are the ones that say, " I can't be left alone with my Skids because they don't listen to me and they are so mean. Wah Wah Wah." Or my Skid is 3 and I can't stand to be around him because he/she is so awful, and I pray for the day they leave." Oh my gosh people! They are KIDS for Christ's sake. You act like they are mass murderers. It even goes as far as they make you uncomfortable in your own home! Give me a break! If you can't handle them..... THEN LEAVE! I'm sorry. They are kids. If they don't listen, then PUNISH THEM. Simple enough. They won't get off the video games when you ask them to? Wait til they leave the game, go in there, take the system and hide it. When they ask for it explain to them that to have the priviledge of playing, they have to follow the rules. Don't yell, remain cool about it, like it's no big deal. It's almost like you're afraid of what they might do. What can they do? What, besides, I don't know, take the hint and start acting like they're somebody and not an idiot?

Well golly! That just solved all my problems! They're CHILDREN! I was wondering what they were? This will make my life so much easier. The first step to success is to know what you're dealing with. Well now that some genius has succinctly spelled out how to step-parent the easy way, what are we going to have left to talk about?

I suggest Gymnastics, but like step-parenting it's so insanely easy that there's not much to it. You just pull your hair back in a high ponytail, put on a leotard, chalk up your hands and go do those flip thingies and whatnot.

Or Cooking? Like step-parenting and parenting in general, there are far too many cook books out there when the ability to cook is practically inborn. You just pull things out of cupboards, mix it in a big bowl, turn on the oven, shove all onto a cooking pan and voila! you are now Julia Child!

He he. Seriously, I am one SM that will not take the bait. Except I had a quick nibble to make myself laugh...;P

you all think this is me taking a stab at everyone in this forum. no way. totally not true. nothing's ever easy, but i don't understand how people can let they're stepkids or their own kids for that matter run all over them. you're an adult, they are the child. i don't get it. if someone can fill me in on why this is, please do. i'm not trying to cause any drama. but i run my house like a well oiled machine. my BD and SD mind because of fear of the consequence. i don't beat on them or anything so don't think that. but i don't have any of the hatred or resentment that others on this sight do
