Here is a quick little story: The little boy was calling me mom and mad a reference about his "auntie" meaing his bio mom, his sister said that she is not his auntie that she is our mom, and I am the stepmother. The little boy looked at his sister and said Well who takes care of us, who cooks, who tucks us in etc..
Now, his older son has come to visit for the summer and he wants to stay with us. He is a good kid and he missed his Dad- his mom refused to allow him to visit due to previous ex being violent. How do I deal with a 15 year old teenager? He is very clingy to his dad, and I feel he is invading our "private times", by wanting his dads undividing attention. Help, how do I address with sounding like the "wicked stepmother"?
Thank you.
