Okay before coming on here I had never heard the term ‘Disney Dad’. Now I see that was what I was dealing with when I first met my DH.

He was an older father with a young second family. DH had been sperated for 4 years when I met him. He had SD8 and SD 11 every second weekend and some holidays. SD were used to him taking them camping or going somewhere most of those weekends and he usually attended all their sports functions and school functions.

Ten years, 5 stepkids

My first blog so I am going to go back 10 years. Met DH and he told me he had 2 girls 8 and 11 at the time. He also had 3 older kids from a previous family.

I moved in and the fun began. BM was jealous even though she had a new partner and has been seperated for 6 years.

So Out I go to get in the car for a family outing , SD8 runs ahead and sits on the front seat. Asked to move by DH and amid howls and tears gets into the back. SD11 says Mum and I decided I would sit in the front in her car and SD8 sits in the front at Dads.
