I don't know Nancy maybe the kids are angry and taking it out on their fathers.

Does it seem that the kids are worse with their fathers or their mothers? Or does the gender of the child make a difference?

Intersting to contemplate isn't it?

As far as advice goes, I am probably the last one who should be giving advice about stepkids. I don't like mine and haven't for what seems like forever. I guess it is good that I am now able to relax and admit it. I tried for years to make a family out of scraps and now realize she never wanted me inher life at all.

many tell me she is jealous of me. Maybe but my opinion is either work through it or get over it. She has chosen to ignore it.

Again, the sadness occurrs with Nathan. He includes her in all of his school projects about family but he could not pick her out of a crowd if it were to save his life. He just wants a sister to love him. I could kick her ___ it makes me so mad what she does to him and is too selfish to even see it.
