Staci: Marriage And Family

I know a lot of people would say it, but I honestly have the world?s best parents. I would not be the person I am today without them. They have taught me so much and have always been there when I needed them. I can always depend on them no matter what.? My parents divorced when I was young and it truly was a blessing in disguise. I have been blessed with some amazing step parents that I love and adore.? Now that I am married I have been blessed with even more amazing parents and I wouldn?t trade any of them for the world. Growing up I never realized how much I really needed my parents. I knew that friends were the most important priority and my family would come next. ?I know that this is very common for teens, but looking back now I realize how much time I have missed with my family.? I wish now that I would have jumped at every opportunity I had to spend time with my family and really get to know them better. Now days I know that I can?t change the past but only better the future. I try to spend as much time as I can with them and our relationships are stronger then ever. As a teen I remember I always thought that my parents had no idea what they were talking about and I of course knew everything about life. Their parenting techniques have changed from then to now. Now rather than telling me what?s wrong and what is right, they are more of a support team. They have been a tremendous amount of support my whole life but I now have learned to appreciate it much more.

When asking my parents about the joys of parenting they said that it is so fun to see your children grow into mature adults, and to see us succeed in all things we do in life. I heard a saying once that your parents give you roots and wings. Roots meaning they teach you all the things you need, and wings to be able to fly the coop and become and independent person. I couldn?t agree with this saying more. I am so blessed to have such good parents and I love them so much.

As stated before I have been truly blessed with step parents. I have a stepmother as well as a step dad. I love them both very much and I feel that I would not be the person I ?am today with out their help at shaping the person that I am. Both my parents re married when I was young. For me I knew that I had a special life compared to some of my friend. I was blessed with multiple parents as well as multiple family members. Life with step parents wasn?t always easy. My step mother always says that the first time I met her I didn?t want anything to do with her. I just basically buried my face in my dads shoulder and would not let him go for the rest of the night. I am a bit of a daddy?s girl in the first place that I knew I didn?t want to share my dad with any one else, let alone some lady I had never met. As the years went by I learned to love Teresa like my own mother but I still to this day have never called her mom. I have always called her by her first name and still never have felt comfortable enough to call her mom. ?I love her dearly but I cant bring myself to call her mom.
??????????? My step dad on the other hand had a lot of influence in my life. I grew up with him and my mom and he did a lot of the disciplining. I can remember meeting him for the first time and almost immediately falling in love with him. I always had so much fun with him and repeatedly asked my mom when Mr. B was coming over. It wasn?t long after they got married that I started calling him dad. To me it felt right and he was my dad. We always did things together just the two of us and ?he made me feel as if I was his own flesh and blood. ?I can remember one time as a teen I was so mad at something he said and said the worst possible thing I could ever say to a step parent ? I don?t have to listen to you, your not my dad?. At the time I knew I was being hurtful but didn?t care because he had made me mad. So as a teen this was acceptable to me. Thinking back years later I know that, he must have been crushed because he has always bent over backwards to make sure I had a great life and here I am being a little brat. My step dad has taught me so much and I am a better person having him in my life.
??????????? When talking to my step dad about the pros and cons of being a step parent he said it has many pros with little cons. He said because my sister and I were so young he lucked out. Because we basically didn?t know any better we grew up with him and accepted him as our dad right away. There were hardly any problems with my sister and I, not taking him serious. We knew that we loved him and he loved us that not matter what .We knew we would always be there for each other.? My stepdad never had children so for him it was a blessing. He always wanted kids but never had until him and my mom met. About the only con he had was dealing with court battles and child support with my dad. He always hated being in the middle and wished my mom and dad would get along for everyone?s sake. Over all my step dad said he wouldn?t change a thing and is so glad to be a part of our lives.SS
