Serious Answers only pls. I am a stepmum to 2 lovely girls. We have a really good relationship & can talk about most things.
They still have regular contact with their Birth Mum, but she's very different to me. In her house they don't have 2 help around the place with any chores, they don't have 2 do homework, they are often sent to friends houses when they're supposed to be hanging out with their Mum because she likes to drink alcohol pretty regularly, they can pretty much do what they want.
In our house, we can seem a bit more strict because we encourage the girls 2 do chores to earn pocket money, we encourage them 2 get homework & assignments done (otherwise they would fail @ school), but we do a lot of fun stuff too - going for picnics, going to the beach, BBQs, we encourage sleepovers at home etc.
I just want 2 know if u were in this situation, which would you appreciate more - a place where ur input & company was valued or a place where u can do whatever u want all the time?
