[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you sure the problem isn't just that they are teens?[/quote]

It could be.  I just was not emotionally, mentally, or financially prepared for such a change in lifestyle, having to schedule every minute of our lives when making plans depending on whether they are with us or not, the fact that we have no input, the change in our relationship with others in the family, the impact on biokids, etc[/quote]

Previously Posting Stepmom here. I am not being snide, but want to ask, prior to marriage,  what did you and your DH discuss in regards to how the kids would be a part of the new family that you and DH were creating? Did you discuss parenting and how you would foster the relationship between the kids you planned on having and the kids he already have? What did you discuss about parenting in general? What did you discuss regarding your individual and mutual expectations of the family you were creating? Was this not something that you discussed? Why is there a change in relationship with others in the family.[/quote]
