[quote=Anonymous]I did. We also had our own child. No regrets for me. But, most people I know who married someone with kids regretted it. Usually they had completely unrealistic expectations, like that the kids would be thrilled to be a blended family, or that they would automatically respect the step-parent. I went into it knowing that his kids would dislike me (they did), that they'd be upset over us having a baby (they were), and that I would have to be empathetic and build a relationship with them. That helped a ton, rather than trying to strong-arm them into accepting me and the new kids. [/quote]
