[quote=Anonymous]OP, DH's teenage nephew lives with us full time. We have a best-case scenario where DH and I have a great marriage, nephew is a really well behaved respectful kid who loves his little cousins, and nephews father sends us some money for his care every month. Even in this situation, it has still put a strain on our marriage. It's just hard to have an unrelated kid in your house that you have to take care of and possibly discipline, no matter how much you agree in theory that their needs should come first. And if you're not good at acting, you'd better work on it because when you resent the kids (and you will) you cannot let them hear it in your voice or see it on your face. just keep reminding yourself this situation isn't their fault and the ultimate goal is to have good relationships with them as adults, and whatever annoying teenage shit they're doing is just a phase that won't last.[/quote]
