When you realize that the reason you're getting worked up with your stepkid, is yourself and how to address that. Also, an awesome tip on how to avoid conflict with your own parents, or anyone really! And hear about Cody's basement flood and how to tackle a high stress situation together.

If you find yourself particularly angry at a certain scenario or subject with a spouse, a kid, or your parents, ask yourself why? Find the true reason, the emotions behind it, and decide if it's something you and that person shouldn't talk about, or if some sort of help is needed. Never be ashamed to seek help when you need it.
