[quote=Anonymous]I married a man who is older than I am and has a child from his first marriage, and it was clear when we got engaged we were going to try for a baby.  We had one, he occasionally bemoans being an older dad, but having her has brought joy into his live, and she and her much older (half) sibling adore each other.  And my stepchild (now an adult) has told me they wouldn’t have the relationship they have with their father if I wasn’t there to facilitate it.  And my step and I get along amazingly well.

We all got amazingly lucky - and I don’t know really any other blended families who have it as good as we do.

But I was on the fence about having my own child - but after falling for my now husband I did want a child of my own.  But as much as I adored him and his child, didn’t want to be only a stepmom - even a loved one - having the constraints of having a family without a child of my own wasn’t something I wanted.  So it makes sense to me that a childless woman wouldn’t want to take on the work of a family without the biggest reward.
