[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 415996, member: 6705"] I must respectfully disagree. True you are not his mother, which will help; but I don't suggest becoming his best friend, either. The fact is, first you have to take care of you. Second - this child has had some serious problems with parenting. You aren't a step-parent yet - but you might be, and it's clear you have most of the parenting time even now. You're not there to replace bio mom or the other step mom, and you don't want to try. But if you try to be "best friends" he will walk all over you. ...Yup. [/QUOTE]
