wow it took me forever to figure out how to get here to introduce myself lol hope i'm in the right place n doing it right. soooo now what to say,,, well i'm a 40yr old single mother of 2 about to jump into a blended family,,, my bf has 4 children and i'm trying to decide if i can even dive into this so thats why i'm here to get advice, encouragement or someone to tell me to get the hell out before i get in :)
Welcome to one of the craziest forums on this site. There are smaller ones with less drama or forums filled up to your eyebrows in drama. The main one is sort of a mix of the 2.
Thank You :) I personally don't get caught up in drama but it doesn't bother me much to read it,,, actually sometimes it makes me chuckle on a bad day lol... i hope to chat with some that might have some experience with my situation but if not it'd be pretty awesome to just make some new friends :)
Have you always been a single mom or a divorcee/widow? Right now everyone seems to be sleeping. I am in my 30s and not technically married but have step children as well as our dd who is 6. My guy has 4 children whom are all adults now.
