First time meeting adult step daughter

[cjthel 0]

My husband's oldest kid is coming over to spend the weekend with us for the first time. She sees her mom regularly and decided to visit her dad for the first time since he got married. DH is very excited about it and so am I. But I'm getting stressed about the whole thing. I want to make it an unforgettable experience for everyone specially for my husband. How should I go about it? VJ step moms, I need help!

Hi cjthel,

I also have 4 step children. The funny is that the 2 is older than me plus they are all professionals,so do I. I met all of them on our wedding together with my brother and sister in laws.

I understand how you feel but just be yourself. Don't pretend to be who you are not. To be a host is quite challenging.Just do your best and that should be enough. Good luck and have a great time visiting with them.

How old is your husband's child? Yes - just be yourself and let his child feel at ease with you. Create an open, encouraging and approachable environment at home.
