[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 4 children.  2 I carried and 2 I did not.  I came into their lives when they were 2 and 5.

DH and I have 4 children.  We love them all.  Each one has different needs and we try very hard to meet those needs.

We are financially responsible for all 4 kids.  When we sit down to do the budgets for school, activities, clothes, trips, it's a lot of give and take.  The pie is only so big and has to be split 4 ways.  Both DH and I work to make the household run and give the kids what the need/want.

The 2 children that I did not carry talk with me daily about whats going on in their lives, are amazing siblings to the other 3 kids, and contribute to the household.  Either parent can discipline any of the 4 children.  All kids know that what one parent says goes for the other parent.  I suspect it helps a lot that DH and I have very similar parenting/discipline philosophies.[/quote]

You rock.

Stepkid here, my parents had 50/50 joint custody.   I love my stepdad more than my real dad.

I could care less about my former stepmother and never spoke to her again after my dad and she divorced.

Not all step/blended family situations are the same and biology doesn't always determine love. Also, I have 4 siblings, I love them all differently.  Not all love has to feel the same and there's no such thing as better love, its just different. [/quote]
