[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]

This is one PP who is fixated on travel soccer and the fact that she managed to "stay married" ... apparently so she can spend all her time on travel soccer?  I dunno.

I had a blended family growing up that was a sh*tshow, but the one good thing was that all the step-sibs got along.  Largely because we all saw how crappy our mutual parents would be. In fact we created stepsibling bonds by complaining about "the parents."  And, there were a lot of differences between us.  My sibs and I were all academically advanced and went to top colleges with scholarships.  The older kids all went to public schools, and the younger ones to private.  My step-sibs really struggled in school and ended up needed a lot more support.  Although I have plenty of complaints about how I was treated, I never resented what my step-sibs got.  [/quote]
