I ask this because I decided to look at the CWCki today and read about other family members after seeing the recent discussions about the effects Chris' internet fame may have had on other members of the family. We know that Chris was not a honeymoon baby (or the reason his parents even got married) since his parents married in the middle of 1980.
I'm especially curious about Carol. According to the CWCki, her birthday is 07-07-1969 which would make her about 10 when Bob married Barb, and 12 when Chris was born. David was 19, and Cole was also 19. I wonder if Carol was ever around during Chris' younger years. It's clear she was living with her mother at this time, but did Bob ever have joint custody with his ex-wife over Carol? I have a few younger half-brothers, and even though I didn't live with my dad all the time, I still got to see my brothers often enough, and always went to their birthday parties and what have you.
I suppose this thread could also discuss how Barb got along with her stepchildren. Do we have any record of how Barb got along with David and Carol? I would imagine that for Carol it would be harder since she was fairly young when her parents got divorced, her dad married another woman, and she gained a younger half-brother.
