I know it has been too long, but these last 4 months have been crazy.
Although my husband and I don't have children of our own, he has two from a previous relationship. Back in october they came to live with us full time. This has been an extreme learning curve for me. I went from controlling my own schedule to being controlled by their schedule. Please don't misunderstand, they are great kids, I just wasn't prepared. So I could use some advice:
How do you juggle it all (work, school, home, activities)?
When do you start to feel in control again?
How many personalities do kids have?
HOW do you help the kids deal with the emotions of having an absent parent?
My husband is a great father and I am learning as fast as I can. If anyone out there can shed some light or just share that would be wonderful. My husband and I discuss everything, but sometimes you need to talk to someone outside.
Advice, comments and insight not only welcomed but desired!!!
