[quote=Anonymous]Yes, great post. One thing missing from your list, which is a great one, and props to you for being so thoughtful, is how each parent is going to keep a separate relationship with their children, and what the direct lines of communication might be, especially if someone doesn't like something or someone. Case in point: My child went nonverbal when his dad had his first serious girlfriend. He didn't want to tell me he wasn't wild about her because he felt that would be dissing his dad. It took him two years -- TWO YEARS -- to tell me this. So it's something to consider, a safe place for children to keep a sense of self in the emerging group. It is navigable but you don't want the group to dominate individual needs. Best of luck and props again for such a thoughtful response.[/quote]
