[quote=Anonymous]Well, I am in one of the more "successful" blended families that I've seen. My DH and I each had one daughter, and now we have a son together. For all that we've navigated successfully, I would never, ever advocate divorce for anyone. Many people don't realize the reality and impact I think, until it's too late. I would never do it again given the choice, and I will try to guide my children to never do it either. Even the best blended family is not as good as an intact family. Too many schedules, ex's, managing, feelings, conflict, money issues, etc. Ex: Is my DH closer to his kid than mine? Am I spending more on my daughter's Christmas than his? How is it fair to our children that his kid is in 6 extracurriculars and ours are in one? Are we slighting a kid because we went on vacation without one of them because visitation didn't coincide with our holiday? ^These are all real, and they suck.[/quote]
