Couple's counseling
So I started couple's counseling with BF 3 weeks ago and its been going okay so far. I like the advice she's given us about our relationship, and it's working in the sense that it's helping us rebuild our relationship and make it stronger. She's given us great tips about what we can do to improve ourselves and we've both been taking action, so there's hope for us. We are actually going away for a couples weekend this weekend, and for the first time in over 8 months, I'll have BF all to myself for an entire weekend!!! No DD (though I love her dearly and will miss her) and no skids!!!

Food for thought
I watched an interesting YouTube video that basically stated that blended families should not exist thus stepparents should not exist.
If a couple couldn't manage to stay married and got divorced, then they are supposed to remain single and raise their kids instead of adding a new partner to the mix. The only time remarriage would be okay is if a spouse passed away, but divorce should never have been an option and without it there would never be the constant chaos that is step family life.
What do you guys think about that? Do you agree?

Easter
What's with BF's family thinking it's okay to walk up to me and say hi and coo at my baby, while completely ignoring me? A few of these relatives have done this a couple times to me now. His brother's wife wouldn't even include me in the conservations with my BF about our daughter. Thankfully not everyone was that rude and disrespectful and At least they were kind enough to include me in the family photos.

Invitations to skid events
Should you be invited to all skid related events (sporting events, school plays, etc), even if you're not married?

Favoritism
So things have been much better with BF lately. We haven't had any arguments in a while. Our daughter is turning 7 months and she's just the best baby! We will be taking her to music classes, swimming lessons and yoga these next few months, which will be fun! Seriously looking forward to Summer and beach trips and I'm just hoping we can have a great summer with his kids too.

Making a blended family work (need help)
What are different things you guys did and maybe still do to bond with your skids?
What has their treatment of you been like?
How has your relationship with them changed over the years as they've gotten older?
Did any of you end up genuinely loving your skids and did they express genuine love for you in return?
If you could go back in time, is there anything you would've done differently?

Why won't he just parent his kids!!!!!!!
I'm a 26 year old first time mom of a 4 month old baby girl. Dating a guy, 28, with 2 kids of his own from a previous relationship, BS8 and BD4. And the 4 month old is our daughter together. We aren't married yet and I honestly dont know if I'd ever marry him at this point because his kids drive me bonkers!
