I too, got a step daughter in the second marriage. We had a lot of problems when we first started out. Carolyn was 4 years old , spoiled roten by her grandmother. Many a time I got,
"" Idon't have to do that.''' Finally I poped . I told her that as long as she was in my house, she would do as I told her. It was about 4 degrees out side so she couldn't go outside. And we had moved from Seattle to N. Dakota. So none of the family was around., For about the first 5 years , you could cut the tension with a fnife. But I think what saved us, I love to read. We would go to the libary and come home with loads of books. She got her's to take to her room then bring me the one we were going to""" read'that night. By the time she started school she could read the easy books. we kept up the libary. A lot of people would say she looked like me, But I could look at her and know that she was thinking " I don't look anything like her." I will always be the Stepmother. She has a son and a daughter of her own now. The daughter will have a little girl the end of next month. I am not included in the"""' girls". That is what I wanted the hats and cocoons for. At least I can do something that a lot of the other women can't. And I have a great group behind me to get some odd things done. I have a pattern to make booties with a crocadile stitch. And learned how to do it. I am making booties that look like flowers. George wants something to eat so I better get a move on. Take care , Margaret
Being able to talk with the group keeps me looking for different ideas.
