[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents never made me blend and I was grateful for it. In retrospect, the real reason was that my mom did not want to live with her partner's teen boys because of their drug usage. And of course her partner's lazy parenting was part of the problem.

If you blend, [b]you're going to be face to face with his parenting style every day[/b] and you might find you don't like it. Any differences in parenting which right now feel minor or benign will be a much bigger deal to everyone. Financial issues, and how things go with your ex and his ex, can be a problem. Do you really want to have to coordinate and mesh all this stuff? Some relationships work better when people have more space.

I would not deprive your children of the peace of their home, and that's what happens when you move two more kids in. I understand you want this for yourself but there's just no way this is a good deal for your kids. Sorry.[/quote]

That's going to happen if you have kids with him, too. [/quote]
