ive been with my boyfriend for almost a year, we're moving in together next week. New property for both of us in a new area. Problem is my bf has 6 children ive never met. He has regular access with them in his current property and his children know he has a gf, but his ex would not allow me to meet his children for no reason in particular, just being awkward i think.
Anyway, his children are a daughters at ages 15, 8, 5, 3 and 2 and his son is 8. I also have a 6yr old son.
How do we intergrate our 2 families with as few hic-ups as possible? How do i get his kids to see im not a wicked step mother but a friend to them all?
How can we make sure no one feels excluded or isolated or over-looked etc?
Im really worried they wont like me, or that things wont go smoothly and they wont want to come stay over etc.
All advice is welcome especially if you've succesfuly merged 2 families yourself.
