Ok, so I've been dating this new guy and, wow, there is a connection and great potential. However - he lives an hour away and has 4 kids...so there are also some pretty big challenges. I have met 3 of the 4. I have one - this feels like a bit of a Brady Bunch scenario!
As I was watching him with his kids (11 year old twins, 14 yr old boy, 15 yr old girl - mine is an 11 year old girl)...I was trying to imagine how you combine parenting? How does that even work? I don't think either of us envision that we are looking for a new "mom" or "dad" for our kids - but it would certainly be a mixing of families and combined parenting. It's so baffling to me. My DH and I figured out parenting together as we went. How does this work? Anyone done this? And in his case there is a divorce - so mom is still in the picture...
...I like him so very much, I think it could be worth figuring it out, but WOW!!!! How???????
Curious how others combined families worked out....
