Her mom and I almost got married but when we split up I stayed involved with her daughter, she spent all holidays with me, every thanksgiving and christmas and she would spend the whole summer with me, We are very close. I didnt want kids before that, but soon after I had 2 kids with my wife.
My only advice is let children be children, your only a child once and they grow up so fast, dont let your life struggles and stress into your house, dont forget whats important in life. Spend as much time as you can with them, soon they become teens and want their space.
