    Did you at any point before you moved in together actually sit down and discuss parenting styles, agreements about disciplining eachother's children, etc???

    I agree with the poster above who recommended family counselling. I'm not sure this is something you can resolve between yourselves at this point, it sounds like a *lot* of resentment has built up.

    Myself and the wife always present a united front (even if we disagree), doing anything else is a recipe for disaster. Personally if this wasnt the case I could see the relationship break down extremely fast, we are by no means perfect and have our ups and down's, but we always have each others back when it comes to the kids. If I was in your position I'd be telling the wife we need to have each other's back and get on the same page, by all means disagree but never in front of the kids, anything else sends out the wrong message and creates discord.

    Raising kids is always going to be a handful, raising someone else's adds a whole new dynamic and even more issues, but if you and the wife dont start singing from the same hymn sheet, things will only go downhill and implode at some stage.
