[quote=Anonymous]Blended families have such a high divorce rate. Please look into this as much as possible in advance. The reason for the divorce rates is because both you and your partner will frequently be put in lose/lose situations. Example: your kid is accused by his kid of doing something crappy. Your kid says his kid is lying. He believes his kid. If you discipline your kid, your kid will say and feel you chose him over your bio kid, and feel betrayed and abandoned. You don’t punish your kid, it builds resentment with your partner and his kid. You literally can’t win. Add on top of that, kids WILL test you and manipulate both of you for attention and to test your bonds. I’d say that if you truly love him but you are just fine that his kids happen to be part of the package deal, keep dating, do joint trips, joint meals, etc but keep your living situation separate until the kids are gone. You could always get apartments in the same building or something. [/quote]
