[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Likewise, If the stepmom showed complete disinterest in the kids, never went out of her way for them, never gave them a gift for anything, never got involved in their activities, never showed any gestures of kindness ...

Of course, she'd be bashed for that, too.

Word of warning to all women: DO NOT marry a man who has children, no matter how old they are! [/quote]

Maybe blended families suck. Women with kids should not marry men with kids and then pretend they are going to be the next Brady Bunch. [/quote]

I’d agree with you , actually, when young kids are involved.  But at what point is an adult “allowed” to find a life partner for middle/ old age? Surely when all children involved are ADULTS should be a fair time. I mean at some point, life moves on![/quote]

They are allowed to do that at any time. But the fact remains that if you marry someone who's annoying and/or has children, other people might not like to spend time with them. That's just the way it goes. They'll move on.

It's not clear to me that all the children are adults-- it seems like maybe the step kids are younger. And if the youngest nephew is 19, he's only very recently an adult, and the divorce was 5 years ago, he probably wasn't an adult at the time of the second marriage. He might have been forced to cohabit with them when he was only 14. [/quote]
