[quote=Anonymous]I’m divorced with a 13 year old. I’ve been seeing my current boyfriend for three years now. We’ve been talking about getting married and buying a house together. We were talking to my parents about it (he wanted to ask my for my dad’s blessing). They seemed happy about it, but later they called me and expressed some concerns. They think it’s fine that I’ve moved on since my divorce, but I shouldn’t get married until my daughter is an adult because they’re afraid I’m going to screw up her life. They feel this way because her dad had remarried and had more kids and they think if I do the same, she’s not going to feel like she’s apart of either family and it’s not fair to her. I told them I don’t plan to have anymore kids so she won’t have to worry about that. They still think she’s going to feel torn and that I should put marriage on hold until she’s an adult.

I would like to hear from anyone that’s remarried. How did your kids handle it? I personally think my parents are overreacting, but I would like to hear other perspectives on this.[/quote]
