[quote=Anonymous]Go for it! My parents split when I was young. One stayed single until I was in my 30s “for the kids”, the other remarried when I was in middle school. Even though my stepparent was pretty lame, it didn’t have a massive negative impact on me and I still had a good relationship with that parent. If anything, I ended up resenting the parent who never dated because in my 20s I felt I needed to stick around home so they wouldn’t get lonely because they didn’t have anybody else. Also, waiting until the kids are grown comes with its own drama. My parent who stayed single is now engaged and my siblings are extremely upset because that parent isn’t at their beck and call anymore, and they’re worried about the inheritance. If you put things off because you’re worried about your kids’ reactions, you’ll stay single forever. I’m not so sure it’s good for kids to think your life revolves around them. [/quote]
