I am grateful

I've just been reading the few blogs I follow that cover off on some of the step parent issues and along with some thinking time earlier this week I figured I need to say something....I am grateful to have a pretty good relationship with the girls mum at the moment. I praise both her and my partner for this and the way they co-parent. Don't get me wrong at times it can be awkward, strained etc but having two parents that can openly communicate about the children makes everything else that much easier. Alot of other blogs I read talk about just awful relationships between parents and step parents. These situations are hard enough without those issues....children do and always must come first.
