[quote=Anonymous]You don't have to love or even like them. You do have to stay in your lane; if you are choosing not to be a loving, supportive, parent-like figure to them, then STAY IN YOUR LANE. Be cordial, be welcoming, be polite, be patient, be kind. Be a safe person they can eventually feel comfortable around. That's about it. Stop with the judgment, criticism, expectations. Maybe try to see things from their perspective for once. Just leave them alone and leave their actual parents to do the parenting. Respect that their real family will always exist, and don't try to fight that. You came into a family, not the other way around.[/quote]
