Old relationships, new family
With the divorce rates rocketing and a lot of second relationships
ending in separation there must be a lot of parents out there with children with different families. When I was a kid an old friend of mine came from a united family of 12 kids, the parents brought children from their previous relationships along and some how everyone muddled in together. There was always something going to happen in that old house and both parents worked and never seemed to get grumpy. If one child or the other wanted some peace and quiet and was going off to stay with the old relatives all was fine only stipulation that they were staying exactly where they say they were and enquiries were made that they wernt skipping school or staying elsewhere. We lost contact with them over the years, but I remember them so well. Because the family was larger than average, the eldest kids kept the youngest ones in order and although there were infights about their games and toys dad and mom had the very word to say on that issue and I wonder how many great-grand children they have now? The house must be full to busting on weekends! miri |
