Not a new thing. One ancestor married a woman who already had 1 son. They then had 4 of their own, she died. He renarried a woman with 2 daughters, they went on to have 2 more children. |

OH has sort of - his widowed father and his first wife's widowed mother married soon after OH did. So his mother-in-law was also his step-mother :-S All cosy until OH and wife divorced - that caused major problems as the older pair couldn't 'take sides'. |

My second cousin married four times, he had no end of children. His last wife had seven kids several with another guy. Happy blended families? No, he went home one night and put a bullet through his head. |

Much the same as our family. I have 2 children from 1st marriage, hubby has 3 from previous and we have 2 more between us. As a consequence we have 12 Grandchildren. Well I am sure you can imagine the length of Xmas lists ;-) :-D :-D :-D |

Perhaps I shouldn't mention family tree conundrums where children are the result of sperm supplied by shy Danish men. |
