SD8 - I like that she thinks logically.

SD5 - I like that she has finally grown out of the temper tantrum stage.

FSS11 - I like how task-oriented he can be when he wants to and how funny some of his comments are. There was one night when he was helping one of the little kids get some ice cream and I said, "You're a very good big brother, FSS11!" to which he replied, "I know." in the most matter of fact voice.

FSD9 - I like that she's the kind of girl you won't have to worry about very much with regards to boyfriends; she certainly is a strong character and quite frankly I may be more worried about the boys. -giggle-

FSS7 - I like that he enjoys talking to you and showing you things, and I like that he always says, "Miss Synaesthete, you look beautiful!" when we're going out to dinner.

FSD4 - I like what a sweetheart she is and how she likes to play with you and cuddle with you. Very sweet with the hugs and kisses.

FSS19 months - I like that he's probably the most laid back toddler in the world.

SD13- I like that she has a bedroom at the opposite side of the house.

Umm..

SDstb14...I like that she can breathe and being this age means only 4 more years before I can legally tell her to "hit the road"

SS12..I like that he wants to play catch with me so much so that he wanted me to get my own glove and then went and helped me pick it out. His sense of humor is priceless when he wants to be funny. I REALLY like that he is learning some gentlemanly skills like holding the door open for me!

SD5 - I like that she is logical and will call people out on misbehaviors (including her own mother).

SS3 - I like that he is starting to become more independent and speaks for himself now rather than letting BM and his older sister speak for him.

FSS12 has a great sense of humor and is really smart. He was teaching his younger cousin and I how to play chess and he was doing such a great job at playing teacher - especially with his cousin (a younger girl who he likes to playfully pick on). It was a really great moment.

SS2 I like that he is very smart, and he's always very positive about things, not so whiney like alot of kids

Wow some neat positive things about your skids. Um, I think last time I put that i like that ss (12) doesnt live with us full-time but I guess that is not really a trait about him. Sooo, I like that he is a good speller. I like that he remembers that for many years I told him how smart he was all the time. I like that he rarely yells at me anymore (of course now it is replaced by passive aggressive behavior) but still I like not being yelled at as much.

I like that SD17.5 decided she wanted to live with her mother when she was 15.

I like that SS16 is kind to our puppies, and does things for them without being asked.

I like that SS5 is @ his mom's right now. I am truly disgusted by him and everything to do with him. I dread his return.

SS14 - I like the fact that he is a hard worker and loves to work on cars with his dad.

ss13 - I love what a sensitive kid he is and how much he loves school that he entered a contest and won a trip around the US and the white house, only one in his school!!!

ss11 - I love how he doesn;t take crap from his brother ss14, he can dish it out just as much if not more just to mess with him.

I like that SS has DH's sense of humor and can make both of us laugh when he is down.

As far as SD, I used to like quite a few things about her and thought we were really close. But now the last time we heard from her (either DH or I) was Father's Day. We have both texted and called her and NO RESPONSE. So, I am not too keen on finding good things about her right now.

SS8: I like that he is smart, he is very good at math (which I love), and he likes to help me cook dinner ( I like to cook, and I am teaching him how).

SD 11--I like that she has a big heart and likes doing things with me.

SS11 I love it when he comes back every Friday and greats me with a big hug around my waiste. He loves his step-brothers, my bios, so much and fits in so well. Will offer to clean my car for me and loves to make supper with me every now and again. I just love him so much, as much as my bio's.

SD8 Uhhhhhh...i tried real hard but she is an emotionally retarded child, and i don't mean that in a mean way, who has no care in the world about anyone else but herself, nothing like her brother. My H says she is a lot like her mother.

I like that he is in school right now and out of my site.

I like this poll:) What do I like about my stepchildren? Well... lets see.

SS15: I like the fact that he likes to be here with me even he can go somewhere sometimes. I like that he is learning to drive and I can hand the keys over to him. I like the fact that he treats me like a part of his life such. I like the fact that for the most part he helps to take care of his younger brothers and sisters and always has.

SS13: I like his chubby cheeks and goofy grin. I like the way he is always trying to help me in the kitchen or with laundry. I like the way that he loves to listen to music. I like the way that he cares for others and I like the fact that he is able to laugh at himself when he has trouble with schoolwork for the most part. I like the fact that he really cares about being clean. This is really my only child that I dont have to take a bath or shower.

SS11: I like the fact that he is so athletic and smart. I like the fact that he has an awesome personality when he chooses to show it. I like the fact that he is all boy. I like the fact that No One is going to run over him. I like the fact that he can grin at me with his freckles and green eyes and melt my heart.

SD13 I like when she comes over and is a great mood, not when she's moody.. I like when she laughs and jokes around with us. It scares me that she's growing up way to quick but I can't wait till she's 18. Such weird complex feelings..

SS11 I like that he's my cuddlebug. He'll snuggle with me while watching shows. I like that most of the time he is well behaved with us despite what BM says about him. I like that he shows me all these crazy things he can do and wants to see/know if I can do them (chin ups and weird flips) It makes me laugh. He is def FDH's mini me it's to cute!!
