[quote=Anonymous]Blended families take time and effort, no doubt about it. I've read your posts and it sounds like you're trying hard. I agree with the poster about doing family outings (water slide, putt putt, hiking, canoeing on the river, movie night, game night, basketball outside or at a nearby rec, etc) to help build associations at least. The only thing I'm wondering about is...you said your younger son goes off to do his own thing. That makes sense because he is in his house and has a bedroom and playroom, etc. Yet your BF's son basically is a "guest" in your house. He doesn't have a bedroom or playroom or someplace he can go. He is probably stuck in the living room or family room with the two of you watching every move. That stinks for a little boy. I would think about this dynamic and see if you can change any thing so that the boy has his own space. [/quote]
