The replies above are great ideas to try out. I to am a stepmother to two girls aged 6 & 8. We have shared custody. I think you are doing really well so far and have a lot more confidence than I have had as a stepmum! The girls are lovely and we have a good relationship but I still get anxious about whether I'm doing things right and of corse like all kids they can play up and do my head in lol.

It's helpful for me to know other stepmums are having there own battles etc and I'm not alone and we can support each other
