First off, Hello to all. I am new here. I am hoping to get some good advice from someone. My Husband and I have been married for 6 yrs. now, and his boys have lived here for 3 of those years. BM lives 900 miles from here and my husband drives truck and is gone 3 weeks at a time. I am here with the boys. Appearently I am not supposed to have any control over the children that I take care of. Everytime I have to pass down a punishment I hear about it from the BM.
