You and your loving partner finally decided to merge two
families into one big happy blended family.
Now the happy part isn’t happening yet on your permanent residence, well
you need to be patient. It takes time to make it happen and always think that
things are always worth doing well and achieving in time.
You are basically known by your wife especially to the fact
of what kind of man you are. Also, she knows the fact that you are willing to
take the responsibility on raising children that are not your own. To be
honest, it is not easy for the step kids to accept you easily and you need to impress
them up. You will need to earn their acceptance as their step father and
trusted blended family member.
From time to time, you will encounter moment where your step kids will remind you that you are not their real father. This is usually the
situation when the step child is struggling form the parenting authority, which
is considered to be strange. The best thing you can do is to accept the fact
that you are not their real father. However, you need to remind them how much
you love their mother as well as the important parts of their mother, which are
the children. You can tell your step children that you are not there to replace
the place of their real father but someone whom they can consider to be a
pinch-runner. You can be their real father in a blended family even if you are not.
