[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend has two teenagers. I have two young school aged kids (K and 2nd.) Their needs in life are quite different. For instance, boyfriend's daughter is 16 and just started driving a car, is out rather late, a lot of quarreling about curfew. Boyfriend's son may be smoking pot. We are at a real cross roads about how to proceed. Understandably, he wants them to live with us, if we merged households. I'm a little more fearful. [b]He has told me he would create rules, a contract with them, etc.[/b] I'd welcome more thoughts about how we might think about this subject, so it's not divisive?[/quote] Why can't he create rules and a contract now? I would NOT move in with him and expose your kids to this until he has resolved this problem. He needs to parent his own children, rather than expecting a woman to do it for him. If he's capable of solving this problem, let him do so before you disrupt your children's lives. [/quote]
