[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend passed away in very similar circumstances (youngest was 3 months, oldest was 3). Her husband remarried after about 2.5 years. It has been a really good thing for everyone. They seen to have a very strong marriage. Some things that I think were helpful:

My friend's family was very encouraging and happy about it
New wife really did step in as a mother figure. She is super kind to the kids. 
Husband is a good guy. He probably was still grieving when they met and part of the deal was that new wife would act as a mother towards the kids. But they also have a life as a couple and often leave the kids for long weekends with my friend's family.

It is a complicated thing, but at least in my friend's husband's case, everyone is happy. [/quote]

I think the the one thing I have thought of is becoming an instamom. I do like kids and have always wanted kids. I never thought until now about being with someone who had a family until now, but you know what they say about life and plans.
 Not sure how that would all work. From what he's told me his kids seem adorable and like typical kids of that age.

I do know his wife's family especially the MIL is still very involved, which is a good thing. He has told me( warned me? ) his MIL is  very protective with a strong personality.

The thought of 2 potential MIL is scary?[/quote]
