A mixed family like this will always have some issues they need to work through
Step-family dynamics are always a bit messy and complicated, even when both parties are relatively well meaning. For example, in this case, the husband wasn’t even the one with custody until later, adding another layer of complication. Even in the best of circumstances, looking after four kids of varying ages is just a lot of work. Add in the initial lack of familiarity and trust and it’s easy to see how things can get difficult fast.
This story also highlights the difficulties many mixed families face, where the father is basically asked to pick between his role as a parent and as a spouse. Fortunately, he seems more committed to the former, but it’s not an enviable position to be in. It can be very hard to be brutally honest with someone you are in a relationship with. This is why it’s often best to “ease into” mixing a family in this way, it’s not something you can just start doing without open discussions.
However, some readers note that he probably should have been more “brutally honest” early in the relationship, because they wonder how he didn’t notice that she disliked his children. It’s perhaps worth cutting him a bit of slack, since most people aren’t necessarily as blatant about their “dislikes” when it comes to other’s family members.
