The kid needs to give herself/himself a chance...they're lucky to have a step-mom to even try...

[YANSA79]

That was great. I'm a step -parent bout ready to throw in the towel and this video really made my day. Thank you. LOL. really it was uplifting.

[blendedfamilynews]

lol. So cute!

Step parenting can be easy and fun! check out my profile for helpful videos. :)

[SpaBunnie]

LOL... Oh my goodness!! How funny that "nature called" while you were praying... oh and btw... if this is the same son at least he takes longer to wash his hands than he does to brush his teeth... too funny!!

[RoseofmySoul]

My stomach hurts from laughing! No place in the house is sacred when you have kids. So cute!

[pray4syd]

How do you do all those cool sound effects on all your vids. It makes them so much better!...Syd

[GladILeft]

thanks Syd! I have fun doing it.

[Garrison628]

Lol! Did buddy pee DIRECTLY on his hands? He washed em for a good 3 minutes of the video....lol.

I was in a similar situation like that in 2005 when my parent split up for the summer... it was tough, and i always kinda knew they'd get back together...but it was still hard maintaining that assurance...

[GladILeft]

hahahaha that's the same thing someone else said, hahahahaa. But to be fair, the sink is kinda tall

[ladrev1257]

.....and by the way, your son stole the show! Lol....priceless!

[ladrev1257]

Simply put...you need some sponsors so that you can have your own show. Your videos are better than half of the stuff that we watch on t.v. God bless!

[pallar25]

I commented before the video ended. Your son stole the show. That moment was indeed priceless.

[pallar25]

This is so sweet. Great advice.

[mtamorphis]

I am really beginning to get into your vids, you gave some good advice and your son is adorable! I hear ya and I feel ya when it comes to children! We all need help in that area! LOL ;)

[GladILeft]

Thanks Mta! I been watching the Mta-Huxtables Show since season 1. Thanks, it wasn't fun stepping into a family. Believe me, every emotion was utilized.

[josette54]

it is times like that you realise the strength you gotta have as a parent lol..no it is forever...you never stop being a parent..

[GladILeft]

You're right. I define a step parent aas someone who steps up to be a parent to someone who needs one whether that child realizes it or not.

[silverscreamgrl]

You gave some really good advice there. I don't know this girl, but I was in her exact position. I was about 13 when my stepmother to be came into the picture (they got married when I was 18 or 19) and it took me quite a bit to finally accept the fact she was a B-word and it was only actually about 5 years ago that I actually told her I love her. I always felt that my "real" mom would feel hurt if we accepted her and loved her like a mom, but found out that wasn't true. Silly. But ..yeah.

[GladILeft]

I understand. Step-parenting is a hard job. But when you told her that ou loved her, that released a load off of both of you, I know.

[silverscreamgrl]

That was supposed to read that she was NOT a B-word... But the nice part is that not this mother's day but last year's mother's day I had everyone over at my house--my sister (mother of four), my mother and my stepmother. All together. So it was nice :)  And you know, it just feels right now. I don't know why I waited so long.
