Thanks man. One thing I try to keep in mind with my step daughter is, she's had a lot of uphill battles. Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when she was 8, and gave herself insulin shots for 2 years before she went on a pump. 8 years old, giving herself shots...being different than all of the other kids, etc.

Then at about age 13 we noticed she was having a hard time w/ her vision. After 6 months of tests w/ specialists across the midwest, she was diagnosed with optic nerve atrophy. Don't know what caused it, and it isn't correctable with glasses or by surgery. So now she's 17, nearly legally blind, can't pass her drivers vision test, has to attend a special driving school to get a license (cost $6k) and wear microscopic lenses when she does get her license ($2k). She has to use an Ipad at school, while the other kids use books...because she needs to be able to zoom in on the text. She has special privileges when she takes exams, etc. So she's always the kid that's "different than everyone else". Then imagine being a teenager and having to wear these crazy glasses every time you drive. Wanna drive friends around with those on? Worried about people laughing at you.

She's also had two grandparents, and three great grandparents pass away. And her mom & dad get divorced early on in life.

So needless to say, I try to take all of those things into consideration when she does something that is trivial. Big picture kind of perspective, ya know. She hasn't caught many breaks, and has still turned out to be a pretty good kid.
Think her lack of vision affects her choice of boys? BBC b sorry.

My daughter told me quite sincerely that she wants to kill her little brother, she reckons that he doesn't belong in the family and has to go.

They beat the shit out of each other daily. Its great.
Kids fighting is one thing that is so awful it's funny sometimes. My daughter has a bad temper that we are trying to work out of her. One day when my wife was leaving for work my daughter got pissed off at me because she's a mommy's girl. She punched me in both of my eyes at the same time. She's three so it didn't do anything other than make me blink weird for a bit, but it put me through the roof temperwise. I figured I'd end this shit once and for all.

I asked her who would win in a fight between the two of us. She said she would win.....so I told her to punch me in the jaw as hard as she can...nothing will happen to you. Nothing. We will move on like this never happened afterwards. She thought it was a trick but I assured her it was not. I wanted her to see that she can hit me as hard as she can and it's not going to do shit to me. So she hit me......and I smiled at her. I honestly thought it work work that she would see that she is not the dominant one in the house.

Back in my wild days I was in a bar brawl with some hillbillies on crack (or Angel Dust, crack, etc. either way they felt NO pain) and I hit one of the guys in the chin as hard as I've ever hit anyone in my life. It didn't phase him and gave me a look that almost curled my hair. I hit him again same damn thing...it was like some WWF shit and he wasn't selling my punches. Finally he took a few bottles to the head and went down. If I ever saw that guy again I probably wouldn't look at him, much less try and fight him....

So my daughter didn't hit anyone for a few days, but after that it was back to normal. Oh, and my wife didn't find it as entertaining as I thought she would so it was a double fuck me.

haha, tell her and your wife that the day either of them can piss out of camp fire they can run the household but until then youre king.

I grew up an only child, we always had cousins living with us from overseas (studying in Australia). People always commented how I wouldnt understand how siblings work cause Im an only child and id insist that I do cause of my cousins. We very well may have had fist fights but I ws always on the backfoot in that my parents would always side with my cousins cause they felt bad for them and its always easier beating your own kid.

Anyway my point is that until these two came into our lives I had no idea of the insane love/hate between siblings. I have never seen two human beings that can go from wanting to literally kill each other to being so loving, caring and soothing to each other within less than an hour.

Fatherhood has been a real eye opener, not sure what I did with my life before these two nutcases came into it. It started the day we brought lil Vutu home and his sister (18 months old) would sneak into his room while he was sleeping, pinch him hard enough to leave a mark to wake him up then come running out to us (who were zombies in those months) and say 'Bad bubba, bubba crying, give back bubba "

God I love them (sometimes)

I don't think I can have kids, or there should have been some by now. Quite possible there are actually. For the best I reckon working with kids all day makes me value my adult time.

So my daughter is 6 now and in kindergarten. She is still a roller coaster. we had an argument the other day because Santa Claus has powers and she doesn't have any. She is pissed because he has superpowers and she has not. "Why does he have all the superpowers?" I may have said this before, but I think I am raising a broad.
