[quote=Anonymous]I am in a blended family but I didn't bring any kids into it. I have three step kids, one of whom is severely disabled. And I have one bio child with my husband. The kids are all scattered, except our child together. We get together as much as possible but we've never taken a vacation together. It's not ideal but maybe I set the bar low. My relationship with my step kids is more like that of a caring aunt. I didn't expect them to love me or even like me. And I didn't expect the Brady Bunch. I think they are neat in their unique ways. I enjoy hearing about their lives. I feel sadness when they struggle. I feel sad I can take my bio kid on a vacation and not them. But as long as we are getting pretty regular contact, I'm generally happy. Things change as they hit new milestones in life. My older step caught will get married soon. Will we still be a part of her new life? I don't know. I hope so, in some fashion. [/quote]
