[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just me, or are some people horrified by all the negative comments here? Sure, bad things can happen, even to UMC families in this area, but c'mmon? Do I live in a bubble? The reality is that, sadly, many marriages fail. My kids' friends at school have divorced parents, I have friends, who are divorced, but most of them remarried and nobody is facing the horrid scenarios that you all are describing. [/quote] if everyone involved is relatively equal in terms of wealth and outlook yes. If the other bio parent has significant assets that they are willing to use to help their own bio kids- problems are easy to foresee. If for some reason my marriage failed, I'd expect my children to remain in their schools. If DW remarried, I would not expect to put her step children through school as well. If the new spouse already had their kids in a comparable school, there would be no issue, if not there could easily be one [/quote]
