Dp and I have been together roughly a year. We are thinking of moving in together early next year. I have 3 children and she has 1. All children will be living with us full time, my older DC's spend EOW with their dad. I have been a step parent before, my ex had 2 children. It was a disaster, nothing to do with the kids or my relationship with them, it's was totally to do with my ex's behaviour. However his children didn't live with us, he only saw them during holidays so it will be very different in that respect.
So I suppose I'm looking for tips on how to make this work for everyone. My dp and I seem to have a similar style of parenting which I think is hugely important. Is there anything else that would have helped anyone here to blend families well?
