[quote=Anonymous]No, I do not think so. The vast majority of people are not capable of loving a step child as they would their own child. I think part of an ideal family for a child is the security of knowing that the adults in your home love you and are invested in your happiness and future. Even with a well-intentioned step parent, I just don't think a child has that same security of love. The fact that the bio parent has decided to prioritize the new marriage (because ultimately that is what it comes down to: you know that it isn't best for your child, but you reason that you are going to do it anyway because you are the parent and you "deserve to be happy"). So, my unpopular opinion is that it is selfish to remarry when you have under-18 kids in the house. [/quote]
