I have six "blended" children. Two are biologically mine; three are biologically my ex-husband's; and one is biologically ours. We had five teenagers in the house when the last one was born. The year the little one went to Kindergarten, the other five were all in college and we were supporting THEM too -- again -- more. (talk about being BROKE! try having five kids in college at the same time!)

Anyhow, there is one thing I have learned now that the majority of them are grown and gone. That is that you must let them make their own mistakes. Now, I don't subscribe to letting them walk into a burning building, but most of everything else that isn't going to physically kill them, should be experienced BY them ... it's THEIR life, after all. Who wants to live someone else's life? Isn't it enough to live your own life?
