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
