[quote=Anonymous]In my experience it was awkward and stayed awkward forever. A lot depends on how open they are to the idea of you, how much they like you as a person specifically, and how you behave. If you do anything to make their lives worse, expect it to go badly. Here's a list: 1) Talking badly of their mom 2) Trying to make them spend time with your extended family if they don't want to 3) Being more strict than their actual parents are 4) Expecting them to be interested in your children 5) In any way negatively impacting their college financial aid.[/quote]
