My 23 year old is great with my ss. He calls him his step brother and they play FIFA together on the PlayStation when my son visits. Harvey also wants to teach my ss to skateboard when he’s older. I think I’d be quite jealous if it was me, but he’s really good with the whole set up.

@stepmumspace yes, he is with his mum for half of the week. I really appreciate the down time, but I always look forward to hearing him come through the door, shouting “I’m home”

@stepmumspace I’m enjoying being around a child again. I love children. I sometimes feel sad that I am free to travel and come and go as I please now my son is grown, yet my soon to be husband can’t. I wish I had more autonomy, but this is the man I love, so this is the way it has to be. I am getting better at vocalising my dislike of certain things. i.e shoes on the carpet, sticky hands being wiped in furniture. I’m trying to choose my battles…. It’s a compromise
