I have a 8 year old step daughter and im so nervous on what to do and how to parent her. She's a well mannered child and very respectful. Its just that i hope she like ls me and everything can be ok. I have a 4 year old and my fiancee who is her father tells me " Just be the same kind of parent you are to nick" that is the son we have together. We've been together for 5 years but the whole custody thing hasnt allowed me to really connect with her how i wanted to. I dont wanna cross any boundaries. I just want to be a good step mom. I just dont know how she feels about me. Shes shy so i dont want to talk her head off but i dont want it to be awkward between us either. Any suggestions?
