I have yet to figure out how to be a step parent. It is actually more difficult than even the movies Make it out to be. There is this extremely thin line You can't cross. Sometimes it's so thin I'm not sure if I have crossed it or not. Throw in The Other Parent ... You know, the one You "replaced.."
As a soon to be stepmom, I am fully aware I am not the Step kids Mother. I am very well aware ( plus get the occasional reminder.) It is difficult because often I have the responsibilities of a mother but not the authority. There's a thin line and sometimes it's invisible. I struggle daily with this. Arrrrrgh
