To think Mumsnet gives blended families a distorted view?

[Lemonsherbetfancies]

Mumsnet discussions are always based around how tricky blending families are and how they rarely work.
I can honestly say they are so wrong. DP and I been together over 2 years now and could not be happier and our kids, adult and younger all get on very well. Our families love each other and despite this year, we have managed to spend some of Christmas together and have had the best time. Really happy right now and so I want to say to others on here, do not read all the bad stuff as personally, I/we are the happiest we have been in a long time and instead of pushing us apart, this year has brought us all closer.

I disagree.
DP's child is happy living between the 2 homes. If that wasn't the case, we would change it.
In my situation, my kids are grown but DP has a young child. I never feel upset that they have to come along with us some weekends. We get every other weekend childfree so get the best of both worlds.
Dealing with the ex can be difficult but it calms down after a while.
Genuinely, we are really happy. Our families get on so well. These threads always make me angry as it's such an unbalanced view to reality.

my dh has never had a bio child, when we got together he gave huge thought to the life changes he was taking on, he is the best of fathers and now enjoys being a grandad, he could not love them anymore than he does, in turn, both dd and our dgs love him with all their hearts.
