My kids adore their stepdad, he’s been a huge positive presence in their life and they want to do something nice for him. He’s been there as a father figure as their father has limited contact, which we are trying to improve. I wanted to get him a “step” father’s day present, nothing big, but was going to also include my stepdaughter who is the same age as my daughters. I wanted her to feel included but I don’t know if that’s going too far as a stepmother and crossing a boundary with her mom. The present is nothing too crazy and it represents our whole blended family. For Mother’s Day their stepdad did a craft with them and got them to pick out flowers for me. So I wast sure if it was appropriate to reciprocate the sentiment.

Any advice? Am I overthinking things. This whole stepparent co-parenting thing is so hard to maneuver at times and I want to do the right thing by all the kids.

Hi my 3.5 year old male cat just had his first full blockage. We caught it really early so no kidney issues or damage and he was already on urinary support food prior since he was showing discomfort and diagnosed with urinary crystals.

Does anyone have any advice what’s worked for them beyond the urinary diet, any questions I should be asking the vet or just positive stories.

I bought feliway diffusers since he’s a very active and affectionate cat to the point of stressing himself out, plus my partner just moved in, back in January and he has a dog, they get along very well we call them dumb and dumber, but it is a big change.

My hope is that this won’t happen again and it’s just one stressful bump in the road and he’ll be fine.
