thank you mr. vance : ) I agree. I understand that they have a history, and where to draw the line is in question sometimes when it comes to appropriate behaviour or relationship with her. at times he hates her and is very mad, and at times he is laughing, joking and kind to her. we need a good relationship with her, its hard enough on the kids as it is being switched from house to house and geting used to new rules on both H and Ex's part...
I feel as though lately, i am constantly complaining, like i have nothing good to say and i feel bad that my H feels that he is in "trouble" with me a lot lately... he has some other issues with work that are stressful right now and i hate for him to not look foward to reading an email i wrote him, for fear that it might be me giving him crud again.
Something tells me that I need to be patient. We are all dealing with a new way of life now that H and I are living close by and see the kids regularily rather than every 3mths for 3 weeks.. and we are dealing with new issues with my SD, 13, almost every day, at least every couple of days.. despite the parents knowing thier children and loving their children, they have just as much experience raising a 13yr old as i do. NONE. So we are all learning and we really just need to co-operate and support each other. its difficult to broach new ideas and have conversations about what to do without stepping on someone's toes or offending them....
thank you for your reply : ) Much appreciated.
