I think it's very tough to step into a ready made family especially if the relationship is less than a year old and to live together on top of that.


I am in Month Four of my relationship with Cute Widow.

I think what PP expected when moving in was an 'insta-family'.

Moving in together is always an adjustment. Family meeting to lay some ground rules is in order, I believe. Talk about your expectations, and then ask each of them what their expectations are.

As for the tv- set up a schedule together so that each gets their turn on the big tv. If there is a conflict of time, then a roll of dice or rock/ paper/ scissors for it :P

Spending one on one time with your daughter is great to connect!

Please keep us posted.
