I understand this cannot be forced, but whenever my Biokids and I go to dinner, on vacation, on family outings, etc. with my SO and his daughter, it feels like two separate families. We've been together for three years...isn't this supposed to get better? The children play together while my SO is busy trying to connect with his daughter and I feel like an outsider. Then next thing I know, we're two families walking beside one another. How can I improve this? If I wanted to spend time with two separate families, I could hang out with my lady friends and their children.
