[quote=Anonymous]My husband had three kids from a prior marriage and we had one together. There is a 9 year age difference between our kid together and his youngest. I think it's been very easy. When the older kids went away to college, it was hard on our son who was still very young. He missed them. But it made it a lot easier with parenting discipline styles (which are different). I never disciplined his kids, but often did not agree with what he did (or usually did not do). Our son together was too young to know what was doing on or remember it when he started doing the same stuff as a teen. So I could discipline differently. My brother, on the other hand, started dating his son's best friend's mom. And that completely killed the friendship between the two boys forever. [/quote]
