[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t get married for awhile. Keep separate houses for a few more years. Do NOT have a baby together. Just focus on your kids, then his kids, then the occasional time together. Make sure all kids get solo time with their parent without the bf/gf around. Make sure the kids don’t always have to be together on their weekends.

Basically: if it’s going well, just keep doing that for way longer than you think.

Maybe look for a duplex to buy and live next to each other eventually. [/quote]

Duplex is a great idea. The idea of taking on a new husband and his 2 boys sounds absolutely exhausting - if they're anything like my teen son, just no. Keep them, their messes, their appetites, their teen drama in a separate household. Also, I know you don't want to hear this, but inviting an unrelated man and his 2 unrelated boys into your home is asking for trouble for your daughters. Do you know how much sexual assault against young girls is perpetrated by a stepfather or stepsibling? It's a big, ugly number. Get your head out of the sand.[/quote]
