I love your blunt honesty. I too was a child of the 80s (and we did not look like that in Canada) and saw the reruns. I also tried to blend a family, me with 3 boys, him with 2. Yeah, didn't work. The first time he came home with 2 of something, like he did some great thing and announced the better of the 2 was for "his" son while I took great pains to, and did treat his and still do, as my own, I knew we were doomed. More fool me. I should have known.
