I see people here with probems with step children.
My wife was a widow. Her husband was killed in an automobile accident by a drunken driver. He had a son age nine.
I started dating the woman and we fell in love. I married her and I kind of like her son. He's quiet, does his chores, he's respectful and overall he shows a great deal of intelligence.
He's always been nice to me. We go fishing and he does his own thing.
He now has a step sister who he adores. He shows her affection towards her and he helps her with her homework. Shes ten now and my step son is a college grad who visits often.
My daughter dotes on him.
Glad he around when hes here.
It's nice to hear that you are such good parents! Way to go!
Nice story and a nice life.
