[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My stepfather is a nice enough guy but I don't love his kids and never will. I feel like any time my Mom spends with his kids has been taken out of time she could be spending with mine.

Mom married him after I was out of the house so I never shared a roof with him. Still, it's not comfortable to visit their shared home now. Esp when his kids are there too. Way too stressful on everyone.

I would NEVER remarry if DH died. [/quote]

Imagine being told one day that several new people will be moving into your house and that going forward, they will be your family.  Think about what it would be like to come out of the bathroom with a towel on and encounter a teenage boy unrelated to you in the hall, or his dad.  Consider your own routine and how it would be impacted by the routines of several other people, and your own background, customs, norms, all impacted by people with ones that are different from yours.

I would never ever introduce a new adult, much less one with kids, into my kids' home and lives.[/quote]
