As a step dad or step mom to a one year old baby is a very different to coming into an established family with several children ranging in age from a toddler up to sixteen or seventeen.

Step parenting can bring with it not only difficulties with the child or children involved, but also potential conflict with your partner and indeed an internal struggle with yourself.

Where differences arises between yourself and a step child you will invariably be confronted with "why should I listen to you anyway, you're not my real mother/father", or something similar.

When conflict arises with your partner over a parenting decision you might similarly find yourself being relegated to the position of a 'second-class' parent and find yourself caught between your partner and the child or with both siding against you.

Panu nga ba maging Step Parents???

   If you also have children of your own, you may find yourself feeling torn between their needs and those of your partner's children. Both sets of children may fear that your new relationship will take you away from them.

   And for stepmoms who don't already have kids of their own, the new responsibilities can feel overwhelming. Make sure you get as much help as possible from your partner and other friends and family.

   Getting on Together
1. Spend time with your stepchildren alone. Remember that building relationships takes time.
2. Develop a relationship with your stepchildren before attempting to discipline them.
3. Try not to take their negative feelings too personally. They are probably upset with the situation, not by you as a person.
4. Encourage children to spend time alone with your partner, and also with their other parent. This will help them to see that you respect these relationships.

Becoming a step-parent is daunting but understanding your own feelings and those of others can help you turn a difficult task into a rewarding experience.


  There it goes ma'm i hope it could help....
