Question for step-parents.
My significant other and I both have several children from other marriages. I truly love this person, and their children. But I don't love this person's children anywhere even close to how much I love mine. Just looking at my children breaks my heart, I can never get enough time with them. It's not like my significant other's children aren't great or I don't love them. But there is a big difference in how I love them, compared to my own. My children just don't seem to annoy me the way my significant other's do. Is this a relationship breaker? Does anyone have experience with this?
