| Hey everyone
I'm coming up to five years in my second marriage. I gained an instant family of two beautiful step-daughters to complement their gorgeous mom. I didn't have any children from my first marriage of 23 years, so having young girls (ages 14 and 7) now at my age (56) has been an EXPERIENCE! (caps fully intended - you all know exactly what I mean, right?) I've been journaling this wonderful experience and now I'm thinking of putting my insights out there for others in similar situations (considering a second marriage with children where you had none before) I've got five possible titles. I would appreciate if you pick your favorite or suggest another title that you think more appropriately addresses this particular situation: 1
2

| No idea what Scarlett means, but I'll give you my opinion. I like #1 and #3 the best. Good luck! |

| hahahah Scarlett... I like #1 AND #3 the best too. |
|
| Agreed, but #3 first, then #1. If you go with #1, I'd not go ALL CAPS on Their and Your, but rather a distinction that's a bit more subtle. |
|
| I like #1 and #3 combined, as in My Daddy Says - What to do when your dream relationship shows up, with kids. The "THEIR kids" part makes it sound like a book geared towards the kind of step-parents that are looking for ways to sabotage their spouses relationship with their children. #5 might unintentionally limit the audience; there are plenty of people who were never previously married, and whose new spouse has children. |
