    I definitely tried this with my (soon to be) ex-wife and my kids over a long period of time. We had “step mom appreciation night” every once in a while, and other special things.

    Turns out it only helps if you’re actually telling the truth.

    Sounds like you’re a great parent anyway, so props and good wishes to both of you.
