[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ex has remarried and our only child, the child of the first marriage, definitely does not come first. They put themselves first all the time. It's pathetic. I've heard my child arguing with his father on the phone, standing up for himself. I'm more familiar with children of the first marriage getting screwed in the long run -- especially in wills when there are children in the second marriage.[/quote]

+1.  My daughter berates her father for not signing up for his fair share of carpool slots her activities; then she has to nag him to show up on the right day, time and place.  It's pathetic.  In some ways I'm glad to see her standing up for herself.  I have long since given up that fight, preferring to just do things on my own or arrange other family members who are reliable.  I don't see it as my job anymore to remind him what he is supposed to be doing and how he is supposed to be behaving.  But, in other ways I worry that the message she is learning is that all men are like this and this is all she can expect from guys in the future.  [/quote]
