Hi I'm new here and thought I should I guess explain my situation. I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years now and he has a son that is 5. His sons mother has remarried to his best friend (now ex best friend). It's pretty ironic but the exact same thing happened to me with my parents (my mom, dad, and step-dad) so I feel like I have an advantage with dealing with all this. Things are quite interesting. The mother has another son from a different father as well and he is 10. The mother would really like to have the picture perfect family and not have my boyfriend as his father even though my boyfriend is a wonderful father and very active in his life. True he is still learning and even though I am not a parent I feel like I know more about parenting than him just from the pyschology classes I've taken, babysitting, being an older sister and my shear want to be a parent. Because of this I have become the voice of authority in the house. Which has it's downfalls. I dont pretend I know everything I ask my parents for advice a lot. I feel like my boyfriend doesnt know what the boundaries and expections should be with his son. Which a lot of it is just him being a father (wanting to let him watch scary movies and jump on the couch). Basically I love kids and I can't wait to have one of my own.
I felt it was imporatant to let people know about my situation to help them give me advice when needed.
