"Being Mary Jane" star Gabrielle Union realizes she is very lucky indeed to have such a great relationship with her stepchildren from her marriage to Dwayne Wade.
"I recognize that I am lucky," the "Being Mary Jane" actress told Us Weekly.
"Not everyone has the same situation," explained the "Being Mary Jane" actress.
Union wed NBA star Dwyane Wade in August 2014.
She is helping him raise his sons, Zaire, 14, Zion, 8, and Xavier, 2, and his nephew Dahveon, 13.
Union remarked that what she has learned so far is that all the kids should be treated the same and that the parents should be on the same page in the discipline department.
"My advice is just to be fair, reasonable and consistent," Union said to Us.
"If you're going to be a pushover, be a pushover. If you're going to be a disciplinarian, be a disciplinarian. But be consistent so that [the kids] can get used to whoever it is that you are," she revealed in the same interview.
"They are dope kids," Union told Us. "I have a lot of proud moments where I'm, like, in tears. They are smart, they are kind and just all-around amazing kids, and I tell them that."
The "Being Mary Jane" star calls her husband "the perfect" father.
"Don't ever think you're going to replace any of their parents," she continued in the interview. "They have good moms. I just want to be another loving adult in their life."
And what is the biggest rule? "Respect ... Even the dog. You have to respect their space. Just because you want to play, and they're old, they don't want to. Respect their position."
Union is looking to add to their family and has struggled to become pregnant.
"So far, it has not happened for us," Union said in the Us Story. "A lot of my friends deal with this."
"Being Mary Jane" airs on BET.
