[quote=Anonymous]Dh had one child when we met. No siblings and parents had been divorced 7 years. I now have 2 bio kids and one step kid. It's not always easy, mostly because DH and his ex dont get along well and have trouble co-parenting, but that would be the case with our without me and other children. The kids get along well but there is an age gap. the younger ones adore the older one, who now lives independently. When we were all living together/sharing custody, the scheduling was hard and the oldest was not getting as many needs met due to the demands of the younger ones. I have long advocated that DH sustain an independent relationship with his oldest child--trips together, etc--so that they maintain their bond/unit both as part of a larger family but also as independently. Ideally, I would have married someone who had not had a child, but that is not the way life worked out. [/quote]
