[QUOTE="1+1+1=?, post: 412237, member: 11333"] To everyone and your advice..Thank you. I was starting to wonder if I was making a big deal out of nothing. nobody ever said it was easy raising kids but nobody ever said it could be insane either ( okay they probably did, I just wasn't listening). We decided to have a family "meeting" last night to get all the issues out on the table..everyone got to voice any issues they had with anyone and we tried to sort and solve as many as we could. the situation with my step daughter isn't really resolved but we're making an attempt. We sat down and explained how wrong it is and asked her to come up with what she thinks will be the consequences of her actions the next time she does it ( which should be never) we came to the conclusion that if she does it again to anyone in the house she will have her books,tv,music and computer revoked ( she has that done now) the next time however, we will take a family vote to decide what she will lose indefinitely. If the vote is her music her radio and mp3 player will be taken away and sold off or given away. It's harsh I'm sure but all she has to do is "NOT" go in anyone rooms, steal anything or touch anything that doesn't belong to her. "fingers crossed" . I guess as for the relationship issues I'm going to have to take those day by day for now..I'm not too sure about the stability of it anymore considering she has said to the children last night " if this doesn't work then maybe it's best if we moved out" now after she said it was for the children's sake to give them a little extra reason to try but considering I was actually browsing last week for engagment rings makes we worry if she's this quick to cut us lose over this situation..how long can marriage last!? I appreciate everyone's advice though..it's a crazy world and these kids just seem to get crazier. All the best to everyone and remember..."don't take life to seriously, you might not make it out alive" :) [/QUOTE]
