[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 647097, member: 16024"] It's such a wonderful thing that you are doing for these kids and their mom. It's kinda like step-parenting...You are not the real parent and some kids will resent you trying to act like one. You have to work first on an adult/child friend relationship. Earn their trust and respect. Mostly, let them talk. Follow their lead. They will probably let you know what they need from you. Have some one-on-one time with each. After you have a relationship, the parenting part will flow naturally. [/QUOTE]
