[quote=Anonymous]If the parents are trying to re-create the life they would have had, just with a different partner, it won't go well. Because the kids can't just swap in the new person in the same way. They still have their other parent to visit and to care for. So if a parent gets whiny and needy about spending holidays without their adult kids and grandkids, that's really annoying because it's a natural and 100% foreseeable consequence of divorce. And if your kids marry, then you might be getting something like 1 Thanksgiving in every 4 years as they rotate around. If you were not farsighted enough to anticipate this, it isn't your children's problem. Own your choices, they didn't create this situation and it isn't on them to stress their families out trying to compensate.[/quote]
