[quote=Anonymous]Speaking as a step-daughter here, you should take the time not only to forge your relationship with her but also for her to form a bond with her sibling -- is this her only sibling (any other step-siblings on her end?).  You AND her father should explain how excited you are to all be together.  Your son is old enogh (I think you said 6?) to be able to do things together that everyone will enjoy - the pool, short hikes, maybe a water park.  Even a teenager loves to play a game of monopoly jr and enjoy being a kid, without all of the pressures of being a teen.  Tell her that your son was really looking forward to being his big sister.  Lay it on thick.  And forget about the dishes -- but, treat her as you would your child.  If you tell your son to put the bowl in the sink, then expect the same from her. (I know she's older, but you get my point.)  Also, re the dishwasher, I don't let my kids load it, b/c I have to reload it.  Putting the dishes in the sink works for me.  [/quote]
