You know what,,,, If I would have read this 2 years ago, I would have a total different outlook on the whole thing. I love kids and usually can deal with spoiled brats. But now that I have Cherish, (my niece) I totally understand where your coming from. It is so hard. I have her to where she know what she can and can't get away with. Luckily I got her when she was still very young. She had just turned 2 and man oh man was she BAD even for a 2 year old! But after her being here a year and a half, she can still act up from time to time but knows auntie Moca don't play around. I love her to no end and I have to realize what she's been through but believe me it's been really hard!
About the new puppy, I had to lay down the law here. But again, Cherish was still very young, your step daughter seems to be a bit older. I would have a heart to heart with dad. Best of luck to you!
oh and BTW,,, CONGRATULATIONS!!!
