Keith - your thoughts about step kids definitely resonate with me! sorry I didnt vote sooner

Personally I think you absolutely should have an opinion and be allowed to weigh in, but I agree with how you let Kyle handle discipline. The last thing you need is to be the bad guy, but that doesn't mean you want a crazy young person living in your house (supposing you eventually live together).

My step daughter is only 7, but I've been with her since she was 2. I think the only reason you having an opinion is a "big deal" is because you don't already have kids of your own. People act like you aren't allowed to have an opinion, but that's unrealistic if you actually want to build a functioning relationship with Kyle.

Keep it up, I love hearing the stories!

Keith - Sorry to mess up your science. I missed the initial vote on this episode, but I'm here with #4.

In my case, her kids were not quite teenage yet. The whole thing was a complicated mine field which took years to traverse. We're all best friends now, but it took a lot of time and effort.

The best advice I can offer is to never make mom choose between her kid and you. Figure out how to work through things without putting her in the middle.

Sounds like you're doing great so far.

""I had low expectations for her because she's not really an actress"

I guess she doesn't consider Cher an actress either?? Gaga has won awards and is on TV and in movies but no she's a fake actress actually.
