[QUOTE="Shari, post: 264191, member: 1848"] Exactly my point. It could be an amazing asset for a child. Unfortunately, its usually a huge liability. I never tried to be difficult child 1's mom. What I did try to do eventually was fill in the gaps. Turns out those gaps were what mom should have been doing, and in time, he recognized it for what it was, and I took on the "mom" role in his mind. I treat easy child 2 the same as my own kids. I try to include her in as much as I can given her limited schedule with us, etc. I will never replace her mom, and that's ok. But her counselor made a point one day to call me and let me know that I'm a positive role model in her life and she's seeing a difference in people. Was just what I needed that day, too, cause dealing with her mom is about as fun as gater wrestling. GCV you snuck in on me! I'm going to talk to exMIL tonight about backing her off subtley. We'll see how that goes. If that doesn't work, we'll try not being so subtle. lol [/QUOTE]
