[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only time I’ve really seen this work out was with one of those guys who is kind of a big kid himself.  First wife (my friend) was happy to have another responsible adult involved with her kids.  Her boys seem to genuinely love their baby sister, and her ex seems to have finally grown up a little in his forties.

Most of the time though, it seems like a disaster.  The older guy is used to being in charge at work and at home, and he has already done this.  Meanwhile, all first time moms go through a stage of motherhood where they think they can do everything perfectly, and they aren’t going to listen to him.  At the same time, they want him to be waaaaay more involved than he was/is with his kids from his first marriage.  The older kids get jealous and upset.  It seems like a mess all around.

Oddly what I have seen is that the women have the kid then go back to work and the older husband steps back and spends a lot more time with the new kid since he's working less. More than he ever did with his other kids. It's worked so far for the two couples I know like this, despite all odds.[/quote]
