Hello
DP and DSD11 are moving in next weekend. DP is a widower so DSD will be living with us FT. I have DD11 and DS9. Everyone will have their own bedrooms and DSD and DD will be starting secondary school together in September. I've known DSD more than 2 years and I've been with DP 2.5 years. We own the house equally.
I have concerns (obviously) as it's such a big change for us all.
I would welcome advice on what ground rules we should decide upon (for all five of us!) and also would be keen to find out how couples who have blended families keep strong and not let resentment take over if things are going a bit awry. Eg. I am very keen that rudeness and disrespect are challenged, but I am worried that DP and I don't agree on what constitutes rudeness (ahem).
Thank you! x
