I want to make the best of the situation with his kids

So...my boyfriend has kids.

Ta dah.

I was made totally aware of this when we got together, and I wouldn't imagine wishing to alter that fact because I believe that what we have makes us what we are. (i.e. experiences rather than material goods) and what he is is incredible.

I guess what I'm asking is, what can I do to 'deal' with this and create the best situation possible? He is pretty young as parents go, and I'm even younger so I feel like I'm not 'life experienced' enough to be good enough.

Thanks, I suppose as long as I do everything I can to be loving, open and approachable.. not really much else I can do o_O

I do already work with kids of their age at youth groups and playschool but I think that's made me more worried... I only spend 4 hours a week with those children, then they go home. And the turnover is pretty quick, due to age/moving up groups etc.. but this, with his... it's permanent o_O you can't mess up and go 'oh, well when new kids arrive I'll do it differently'

Argh.
