I have a combined family, with my defacto partners 11 year old and then my 11 year old and then our 6 year old, i suppose it is an extended family, withmore issues than most normal families. We put in the hard yards, both looking for the same thing, a big happy family.....

We are both 28 in age,he works and i probably need to work as i feel im losing my identity and independance abit. But its hard finding work to fit in with school hours.
