Just that really! I really care about my DSC and we form a happy group of 6 at the moment (my two plus his two). Aged 1-8. Just read some of these threads and fear for a bleak future! Please tell me it isn't always doomed and what helps most to keep things happy....?
I love kids whether mine / a friends etc, I take a "more the merrier approach" to family life. Trying to make sure I get quality time just with my kids sometimes too though and that they each get 1:1 time, and also we try and spend time doing fun stuff with each set of kids separately as well as all together (depending how contact arrangements overlap)
We feel like such a happy family but worry from reading these threads that that could change as they get older

Do you think a step parent:child relationship has more chance of success if you have known them from a young age?
