[quote=Anonymous][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]

You sound awful.  If one of your parents died you would be OK with them never remarriage because it takes away time from you? So self centered. You know if a parent got sick or another sibling the same would happen. I don't see why you have to do blended family activities but I don't get harboring resentment because someone else remarries.[/quote]

DP, but in my family the resentment is not over the second marriage/new spouse but that they want us to also play along with the charade that we're just one big happy family when we're not. And there is pressure to do frequent full blended family gatherings, when the step siblings are nothing more than forced acquaintences. [/quote]
