[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was of the opinion that life would be so much easier if our kids were of the same age but the more I think about it, the more appreciate that his kids are in high school/college and mine are in lower elementary. Sure, the kids dont have a bond at all but I am starting to wonder if the close in age kids would feel too much competition. My ex dh remarried a woman who has kids that are also in lower ES and the complaints from my kids about those kids are incessant even though they'll probably grow up to actually remember life with one another. Whereas I may wish my kids felt more connection to their much older step siblings, I can't help but think I have been saved a headache. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?[/quote] This is so passive aggressive. You want us to congratulate your good luck and criticize your ex? Instead look for ways to help your children deal with your ex's wife's kids. [/quote]
