[quote=Anonymous]Blending families can be one of life’s greatest challenges. Or stressor. The Brady Bunch dynamic is merely a 70’s dream..... Since there is a huge age gap between your kids and his, it is very tough to do much as a family together. Add in two pre-teens + a conniving ex-wife and the strikes against this ever succeeding can be nil. I strongly encourage your husband to repair his issue w/his ex as well as his kids. His kids are not to disrespect you or your kids or there will be consequences. For example no screen time, cell phone, or extra house chores. They need to accept this family dynamic and understand you are all a unit now. If this is too difficult for them to do, then I would encourage your husband to get everyone on board for family counseling. I am quite sure there are many therapists out there who have plenty of experience working w/the struggles of blended families. I sincerely wish the very best for everyone involved.[/quote]
