My adult kids.The only thing DH and I really argue over is blended family issues/kids. The kids behavior, who needs a talking to, did the other handle it appropriately, is the way he is dealing with his ex with regard to his daughter affecting our family more than it should, etc.
Money, housekeeping, extended family problems, and trust issues are not major issues at all.....at least not yet.
We got married when they were teens and they weren't very nice to her then. We did set firm limits on behavior, but that had its own price. You'd think boys in their twenties it would be easy to set boundaries on their incursions.
You'd be wrong.
Now. We're raising a grandchild and that is a whole 'nother dimension of drama between us and my son, DGS's dad. (DGS lives with us, not DS.)
If not for my adult kids, we wouldn't argue at all. Even then, we are mostly in agreement: we put the best interests of DGS first.
