[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been seriously seeing someone for 3 years. We each have a child with an ex-spouse, one is 9, one is 4. 9 yo is 50/50, 4 yo is 70/30 (with us). I’d like to get married and have 1-2 more children but I’m struggling with how that will impact the current kids. On one hand, they’re all young and could grow up together part time, but I don’t want them to feel left out of a “traditional family”. I’d love to hear any experiences (good or bad) with blended families like this. [/quote] Generally no, but if all of you get family counselling prior to marriage and continue the counselling and all of you are willing to put in the emotional work and strain, it can work. I would say no. It is too exhausting particularly if there is an angry ex wife in the picture.[/quote]
