[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Half sister here (same mother different dad) and parts of my life were totally different than siblings.

I went to private school - siblings didn’t 
I traveled the world - siblings didn’t 
Supportive only child for father - siblings didn’t have that.

Just ughhh

But you exist. Are you glad for that? It sounds like you are the youngest?[/quote]

This is correct. I do exist and am only and youngest child. Will say as a result, I knew blended-step families were not for me. Ever.

Fair, but I hope you can focus on the better parts of your childhood.  DH has older kids, and we have kids.  I hope my kids remember all the family dinners, summers at the lake, winters skiing together, us always cheering for them at all their games, and don't focus on the complexities of a blended family.  Every family has challenges.  I agree with your takeaway and will try to find a way to tell my daughter to never, under any circumstances, date a man who has children.  Never.  I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone, certainly not my daugther.  Most likely, I'll never have to say this because they witnessed my experience and wouldn't do that to themselves.  [/quote]
