[QUOTE="april1974, post: 443129, member: 12128"] Jewlz you sound like a very warm and compasionate step mom and I won't pretend to know what it's like to be a step mom...but my daughter had a step mom and she could have taken lessons from you. How long have you been involved in his life? If it's recent then a hands off approach is best..it wouldn't be your place to discipline, unless alone with him and husband is gone..but if your husband is gone maybe sds needs to go to his bio-moms house...if his bio-mom is not being a mom then maybe you and husband need to sue for sole custody to give him some stability. Counselling you should phone the counsellor and tell her the extent of your role in sds life....she needs to be aware of all the players in his life. Keep loving him, and you will muddle through there is no black & white....stop letting bio mom get out of having ds...so what daughter is sick....he can still go there, unless she has a newborn baby and is concerned with rsv...which doesn't seem to be the case. Have your husband keep a journal of everything, conversations, excuses, sons behaviour. No reason you can't see a counsellor and get some proffessional advice of where you need to draw the line. Blended families are murky pools! [/QUOTE]
