[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These kids sound ridiculous. I do think though, that it's a good idea to think about how you are going to be treating their future siblings and have a blanket policy on financial support. I am the stepmother in my family and my husband and I are one financial unit.  His children will be given the same opportunities that our children will be given, even though I bring more $ in. You can't predict the future necessarily, but if it was YOUR child who wanted to move in with you to pursue her acting career, would you feel differently? I always try to picture how I would want my child to be treated if I died and my husband remarried, and she was now the stepchild.[/quote]

This is a different situation if mom died and child was living with dad.  These are grown kids, one living with mom.  Mom and dad have an obligation till they are adults.  They are adults.  Stepmom has no obligation.  If stepmom because mom out of default of death and child is a minor, it is different.  Our kids will be treated very differently - different parents, different values and different kinds of relationships.  And, different finances.  [/quote]
