[quote=Anonymous]My husband's parents did this. He found it very hard. One problem was that because they divorced after he was 18 they never had to negotiate how to split holidays, school breaks or money. As a result he ended up in the middle of a fight between them for everything, with both parents guilt tripping him. Where to spend Thanksgiving? Where to spend Christmas? Who would pay his car insurance? Who would pay for new tires? Who would buy him clothes? Who gets to take him out to dinner for parents weekend? Where did he live for summer break? Spring break? It all got harder again when his parents remarried and then had young step kids who they were raising. That was so awkward. His parents want him to treat them as siblings, but they were strangers who he wasn't at all interested in knowing. He had his own life and wasn't ever part of his parents new families.[/quote]
