[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a 6 yo DD when I married DH. Now we also have 2 younger DDs together--all 3 live with us. My DD sees her dad and stepmom on the weekends. I have no regrets but my DH might. His difficulties being a stepparent have been a huge stress on our marriage. It has gotten much better, but it was a big learning curve for him, and all of us. He had no exposure to kids before we got together. I absolutely love all my kids equally. I hope my DD doesn't regret me marrying. She's had her rough times with my DH, but I believe he has been a positive in her life. He's strict, but he's also strict with our younger DDs, so he doesn't single her out. Still, I worry about her feelings. It's hard. But honestly I feel I am a better parent now than I was as a single mom. The girls are all just sisters since they live together, no sibling issues or difference in treatment. We coparent well with DD's dad/stepmom but one big issue is that we are stuck in this location until DD gets older. I don't think DH really considered that before marriage. We don't fight about that, but I know he would have preferred to move around more.[/quote] That sounds pretty rough for your daughter. [/quote]
