I have the most amazing step-kids. Ever. The more time I have spent googling step-parents, step-moms, step-anything and everything I have realized that a lot of the material out there focuses on what happens when the kids can't or don't relate to you as a step-parent or if they are disobedient or blatantly rude to you and how YOU can handle it. A lot of the information is based on the step-parent taking a step back, letting the natural parent provide the discipline and being the one to make most, if not all, major decisions.  Read more >

The other day, I thought about the many ways I have changed in the 10 months since my stepson has been with us. Prior to him coming to live with us, I was the Mom of a 5 year old girly girl. I was the Mom of a little girl who had just started Kindergarten and I was a Mom who was learning this whole school thing as I went. I was routine at it's finest. Then. I was dropped into the middle of teenage-dom. I was facing a 13 year old in middle school - and he's a boy!  Read more >

I pass this strip club everyday, to and from work. It looks as though they've recently remodeled the inside of their establishment, which apparently includes the addition of new chairs.  Read more >

About Me: 

I am 29 years old and have been married for 7 years - I've been with my husband for 10....as my brother-in-law would say "it feels like 10 minutes.....under water." Seriously though, between both of us, we like to think we have conquered parenting and each day Emily (6) and stepson, Austin (13) show us that we don't have a clue. I archive these blackmail moments on my blog www.futureblackmail.blogspot.com.
