One of my coworkers just got married about a month ago. Her husband has a 10 yr. old daughter and the bio-mom sent this letter to my coworker (the stepmom). I thought it was so funny, I got a copy of it.
"Since you have married Mike, you are now Ashley's stepmother and I feel that if we are to have a friendly relationship, we need to establish some groundrules, as far as your involvement with Ashley goes.
1) Mike and I are Ashleys parents. You are not her mother, you are her stepmother. Even when she is in your home, I am still her parent, and I expect you to not go against my wishes and rights as her mother.
2) Mike is to be the person to set down rules and punishments. He is to be the one to make decisions concerning Ashley.
3) Ashley is not allowed to do or have the following while at your home: her hair cut, ears pierced, no makeup PERIOD!, unacceptable clothing, watch movies over G rating.
I believe that if these rules are followed, we will have no problems in the future."
