I accepted my stepdad because he made my mom happy. That is step one.

Next, I’d acknowledge for your boys as they grow that this will all feel complicated. They’re allowed to feel a lot of things, and giving them space to navigate complexity will be worthwhile. By giving them room to feel these complex feelings and show them love, respect, and acceptance, your boys should feel more grateful as they navigate this. Having said that, with some things you’ll need to push and pull on…your boys don’t have to call you dad/mom, but they should be respectful of you as a caring partner in the household.

Third, I would try and foster love, acceptance, and teamwork. Your boys may feel like it should be one way or another, but focus on teaching them that families come in many forms for many reasons, and that you’re all blessed to have each other and work together. The crux of this will be centered on being a good husband; my hope is her boy sees how happy his mom is in the new dynamic, and because you make her happy her boy will be more at ease.

Fourth, I don’t know what the exes situation is, but a lot of my childhood my parents cued me in too much on their nasty divorce. I didn’t need to know all this, so maybe just keep them in a need to know place.

Lastly, and kinda mentioned it but don’t make the boys immediately call you both mom and dad if ever. Fostering teamwork and love and acceptance matters more than titles

7 year lawyer here. Been with the same big national firm all 7 years (not BigLaw) doing complex litigation. Been working remote a long time due to moving around for wife’s job. As a result of the moving was bumped off partner track. I’m looking at a great small firm that will be a practice change (but still litigation). I’m told they’re looking for someone with less experience and they’re skeptical because of my experience. It’s frustrating. How do I overcome this?

Curious to hear how others create a SOW for a video where the concept isn’t created yet. e.g. a startup asks for a proposal/estimate for a 60-second brand video with little input and a vague budget range. We’ll create the concept and produce it. My Co. seems to have challenges with getting the SOW right: either goes very basic or doesn’t scope enough because creative development is baked in but eats up time. How do you do it?
