I've been around the site and on the boards for a while but I thought I'd give blogging a try.

A little background: DH and I have been married for four years and he has a 10-year-old son from his first marriage. I have no kids, but I come from a big family and have a nephew and five nieces I've been close to.

DH and BM split custody 50/50, trading off every Sunday. They get along fine and have been able to work together well. She and I have no problems and DH handles everything so I never have to deal with her.
