[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 122331, member: 1233"] I will try to have my husband get on here tomorrow, but in the meantime, WELCOME!!! I would recommend going to [URL="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]www.loveandlogic.com[/URL] and taking a look around. They have quite a few different things, but all based on the same principle. Some things seem more geared to teachers, but they work at home too. They have a book about using Love and Logic with Special Needs kids. I highly recommend it. My husband simply was NOT able to get on the same page with much of any parenting program until he read Love and Logic Parenting. It just seemed to make more sense. Now, for the step parent thing, very little 1st hand experience. I did have the , what do you call it? Joy? no. Fun? no. Torture? YES of watching my bro marry a woman with 2 teenage sons. He insisted on being able to discipline them (their mom sure as spit wasn't! and from what they each told me, she never did - daycare raised the oldest and he helped daycare raise the youngest!). You don't have to be her friend. She problem won't let you for a long time. But let her know that you will listen. Let her know that you care. Let any and as close to ALL disccipline/consequences come from her mom. It goes against the grain, probably. But it is the ONLY way it will work. DO NOT let her triangulate and pit you against her mom. ODD kids, and kids with other issues, find this the most fun thing around. Keep coming to spend time with us (hey, does that mean we are the "other" women??? Never got to do that before, LOL!!!) Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
