[QUOTE="janebrain, post: 133732, member: 3208"] Hi Maryellen, your husband needs to be the one calling the shots with these kids. A stepparent can't just step in and become the main authority. My husband had to take it very slowly with my 3 kids and I was always the main disciplinarian. They had to have time to develop a relationship and even so it is not the same as with a parent. They have come to see him as their dad (their own dad died) but it couldn't be forced and he has had to show a lot of patience and caring for this to happen. I admire you for taking on this family who seems to desperately need someone like you! I just think you have to somehow let or force husband to take on the leadership role for it to work. Glad you came here, lots of people will be chiming in I am sure! Jane [/QUOTE]
