I need to learn what are normal behaviors for a 6yr... I have never had to raise or live with a 6yr old child.

Do they noramally ask so many questions?
where are we going? what are we doing? why do i have to bathe? are we going to the supermarket? is this for me? is this mine? can i have that? what is that?

Do they prefer snacks and picking over a meal?
My SD6 can take up to two hrs to eat mac and cheese with hotdogs. But will eat a popsicle, pudding cup, yogurt, dry cereal, marshmellows, cookies all with in 15-20min intervals if I let her.

I hate being a stepmom! My SD doesn't listen at all sometimes I think this kid has ADD & if she did that wouldn't be a problem but at least I would be able to give her some meds & learn how to deal with a child who has ADD. She is only 6 but gets on my very last nerve sometimes. I call her a pest when I refer to her when speaking to a friend. My husband and I were only married for 4mos when she came to live with us so there was no honeymoon stage and this really uspsets me that we do get any us time. I hate having to share him or anything with her.
