Hi Claire and marlin, I have 3 children from a previous relationship/marriage and 2 and a bit lol from my now one. My poor DF didn't have any children of his own but now he is well on the way to being a dad of 6. He has a DSD and 2 DSS and for the most part they get on fine. We also have 2 DD's of our own and my other kids have no problems with them. We do have some interesting times lol as eldest DD is 15 (OMG) and a typical teenager.
It will be interesting to see what else will happen as DS1 gets older
Wow you have a big bunch how great
It sounds like you are doing fantastic with it all
Those teenagers are a challenging job mind you I have only parented teenage boys!
I do have some teenage nieces and I see they have there own set of teenage issues too
nice to have you here
lets try and drop in and keep in touch if we can
have a nice weekend all
wait a minute whos in the house this weekend?? never a dull moment in my brady house
Our house is relatively quiet this weekend. My 2 boys are at their dad's and stepmums and DD1 is at a friends so all we have at home (until this afternoon anyway) is our 2 youngest DD's. Mind you they can make as much noise as all the other put together lol.
I just wish I could get some more sleep. I so tired but I keep waking up during the night and have so much trouble dropping off again. Hmmmmm I wonder if it's the pregnancy???
We've got a full house this week! We spent the weekend visiting my sister and her family - her kids are similar ages to my steppies so they get along really well. This morning we went to a great playground and walked around the lake chasing the ducks lol! DD is now so pooped from running around with the older kids that she's fast asleep while the others go visit their granny. All in all it's been a great few days - DD loves having the kids around, and it's a great help to me as they keep her very entertained!
Hope you're all having a good start to the holidays!
I am enjoying watching the older kids playing with our baby its nice to see and it has made a connection between them all
We have school hols too but all the big boys have left school so I borrowed my nephews 7 and 9 for a fun day out at scienceworks great day out
Do anyone else feel like the have 2 families I do at times as the changing shape of the household
Hope you had a enjoyable week with the full house Claire_A

Hi all, I'm joining late, but would love to join in. I'm very much a mum to a blended family, though the step kids live in various places. Between me dh and I there are 7 kids. I have 4 steps kids, dss22, dsd20, dss18 and dad soon to be 16. We have the 18 and 16 yr olds every 3rd weekend. Then I have 2 girls from previuose relationship who are 10 and 7. They go to their dads every 2nd weekend. Then we have an ours she is 26 months. When they're all together it can be a hand full but it doesn't happen that often any more as the older two are pretty much doing their own thing.
Will be nice to chat to others in similar situations.
