Blended Family Issues

Do you have your own bios and DH has his own and decided not to have any bios together? Or did you have bios together and realize more challenges arose? I'm curious to hear about people's experiences dealing with 3 sets of kids (his, yours and both of yours) in same house. We don't have any kids together and are conserving it and I'm wondering if it'll increase the already existing challenges in a blended family.

Oh that's brutal! I am so sorry you have to deal with favoritism, LL!
Your mother and SD should have taken some parenting classes. The good thing is, what doesn't kill you...
today you are strong and independent. How did your brother turn out?

Do you have a good relationship with your dad or his family?
Did they make up for the short end of the stick in your mom's family?

In my childhood, and i was an only child, my mom could not stand my dad whom she divorced after a bloody battle, so the fact that i reminded her of him was an unpleasant thorn in her side. But i had a great relationship with his sisters and brother, my aunts and uncle and their families, and my mom encouraged that. They treated me very well, and i love them dearly to this day.

You lose some, you win some. The pendulum swings...
