Well I am a mother of 4. I have 3 bio and 1 step. I am very lucky because I get along with my husbands ex. She and I are able to talk and make plans of transportation and pick-up of my step daughter. We even coached a soccer team together. My bio and step daughters are almost the same age and almost the same name. Amberli-8 1/2 and Amber 9. They are in the same grade and go to the same school. I know it's very strange but i guess fate. They also play on the same team in sports. But it's not all fine and dandy. My husband and I argue alot because sometimes the girls can do the same exact thing wrong and one will get in trouble more than the other. His daughter seems to get away with alot more than my daughter ever could. He says it's because my daughter is around more often than his and he doesnt get to see his alot. Which is a down right lie because she comes over everyday after school until her mom picks her up after work. My daughter can be very difficult sometimes I will admit that but it's not teaching her anything to see her sister get away with something she never could. We are working on it though and hopfully things will become easier.
I know quite an intro but I am very blunt and get the issue right out there. LOL
