Replying...
Intro. You are my stepchild, and let me be clear, mijo/mija, I have high expectations. I don't tolerate laziness or excuses. You are under my roof, and within my domain, you will learn to excel. I will push you, I will challenge you, but know this: if you prove your worth, you will find no stronger ally than me. Disappoint me, and you will learn the true meaning of 'consequences'. Consider this your trial by fire.
