QotD: Family Dynamics

What's the hardest part about the role you play in your family?

I often get caught in the middle of my husband and my daughters arguments.  My husband and I have very different parenting styles, im a dont sweat the small stuff kind of person and he is the small stuff adds up to big stuff kind of person. So sometimes i feel he is going overboard but sometimes i think the girls are way out of line.   Sometimes i cant win for losing, i either make my husband mad or i make my girls mad. Sometimes I feel they both are being unreasonable.

When you start a step family after your children are already in their teens with it comes complications you cant foresee. Things like my girls resenting a new parent in their life when nearly all of their lives ive been the only parent they have ever had to listen to.  My husband trying to parent my girls the way he parented his own kids when my girls have been parented in completely different way.  Most things we eventually work out but sometimes i feel like im caught as the old saying goes..... between a rock and a hard place.
