I think blending families is incredibly challenging...and anyone who does it deserves a medal.

i hear you on opposites, my two are opposite where personalities go, especially as well as their interests..but they're close and rarely fight which is a great thing, though they used to, even not that long ago ... eesh, it was tiring LOL..

and i agree, blending families would be a great challenge.. the few i've dated and who've lived with us, didn't have children at all.. so different kind of challenge altogether.. but yes, definitely deserving of a medal LOL
