Hi,

I am 43 and father of a girl, 9, and boy, 13. Got divorce several years ago and then found my perfect match in a 30 something lady and we have been married for 2 years now. She brought to the marriage a girl, also 9, and a boy, 14. All their ages now. We have all known eachother for about 6 years and were friends, the kids even.
I try to be the ideal father and husband but honestly dont have to try hard. I am easy going yet disciplined with myself and the kids. My childhood was almost to ideal with perfect parents who showed me and my brother how to treat our ladies and to raise kids. All my life haveing a family was my most important desire.
I love kids and seeing the looks on their faces as they learn and experience life. Also I make it a point to think of kids as little people, not just kids. They are grown ups in training. Dont get me wrong, I am not teaching them hard labor or taking away childhood fun, I just mean that I give them respect and expect it back. Let them have a say in family decisions when possible and teach them to voice their thoughts and ideas without worry of ridicule. We all have our inside jokes and laughter and silliness plenty. Keeping promises is paramount to me, old fashioned, I feel my word is my bond and I want the kids to be the same as they grow.
They have light chores and are learning many basic common sense lessons to be great adults.
History, philosophy, spirituality, and science are my interest and a lot of that gets into how I think and treat my kids. All my kids, including my steps are "my" kids, and have even written them into my inheritance.

Read my bio for a bit more but just wanted to introduce myself.
Oh, and dont be surprise about my bad spelling. I know far more words than I can spell. LOL
