[quote=Anonymous]I married a single mother who had a couple of kids and so did I from my previous marriage.

The good  part is that the woman I married is absolutely awesome. The bad part is that for several years dealing with her kids from her prior marriage was a fucking nightmare which I would not wish on anyone in the world. It came pretty close to us splitting up over conflicts relating to her kids.

So my advice to any guy taking on step-children is to think long and hard because I assure you that the dynamics involved are more often than not a time bomb waiting to go off. If the ex is involved that can make things even more complicated.

Parents have conflicts in raising children even when they are not step-children. When one introduces the dynamic of the kids being from another relationship, the potential for conflicts and how best to deal with them becomes infinitely more hazardous.

Interesting article below about the high failure rate in second and third marriages and it is not all to do with step children but it is a contributing factor.
