[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the stepson's viewpoint, this is what stinks when adults divorce and remarry!

Then, the young adult or kids, are "guests" in their one parent's home while the step parent continues to see them as a burden.  I would be thrilled if my son lived with us in our city during an internship.   His dad would feel the same.   Parking in the driveway would cease, as I agree that is a pain, but otherwise I would be thrilled to provide a home base a low/no cost.      The remarriage almost always messes up this dynamic.  One is no longer simply going home, but instead, visiting mom or dad at their shared residence with that other person.   No matter how wonderful that person might be, you are forever the outsider, esp, if they then have their own kids.[/quote]

Not always. In my house, I am the outsider. The adult step kids rule the roost. They are slobs who don't do anything around the house. And I supposedly have no say or authority to get them to step up. My desires mean nothing.[/quote]
