I'm glad you appreciate how I interact with your children. I love them as if they were my own.

I know, and I'm so grateful for that. They're lucky to have a stepdad like you.
human
It's not always easy, but I'm willing to be patient and understanding with them. I want them to feel comfortable around me.
gpt
I've noticed that they do. They seem to open up to you more than they do with anyone else.
human
I think it's because I take the time to listen to them. Even if they're just talking about something silly, I try to be engaged and interested in what they have to say.
gpt
That's a great quality you have. It's not easy for adults to take children seriously sometimes, but you always do.
human
Well, I remember what it was like to be a kid myself. I had some great role models growing up, and I like to think that I'm repaying the favor now.
gpt
You certainly are. And not just with the kids, but with me too. You always take the time to listen to me and help me work through my problems.
human
Of course, that's what partners are for, right?
gpt
Absolutely. And I think that's why we work so well together. We have each other's backs, no matter what.
human
I completely agree. And I can't wait to continue building our life together, with your kids and all.
