You're Not My Daddy

Summary: REQUIRED READING FOR NEW STEP-FAMILIES
Review: This no-holds-barred book tells it like it is by someone who should know. It can basically be summed up with the following:
1. Things to avoid while dating
2. Do not set expectations too high
3. Expect problems
4. Hold regular meetings with your spouse
5. Plan for the unexpected
6. Plan for the expected
7. Be consistent and fair
8. Be patient
9. Be a parent (not a child)
10. Ensure God is the glue that binds your family together

This is a very quick read that is well thought out and simple spoken. The things the author stresses are frequently brought up to ensure the reader knows how important they are. If you do not read the entire book, at least read the last two chapters that deal with gluing your family together and the roles of parents and step-parents.
