[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't sound like either of you likes the other's child that much. In light of that, I think it is going to be a difficult situation to blend your families. There are things you can do to make it better (have him host half of the family get-togethers, meet at places other than your houses), but I don't know if it will ultimately make it workable if you don't like each other's kids.[/quote] I agree. Both children could be seen as acting differently, but appropriately for their ages, especially when you add the "we hope to be a happy family" pressure. They may not be all that keen on the idea to begin with. But instead of seeing both kids as a little needy and unsettled, both of you find the other's child annoying and rigid, and want that child to change while your child should not have to. Extrapolate the next 11-12 years of living in the same household, and the kids are really going to be unhappy and make you unhappy.[/quote]
