[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is why I'm on Team DH. Parents invest in their children with some expectation of filial love and an ongoing relationship. It doesn’t always turn out that way…but that is the expectation. That expectation doesn’t exist for stepparents, so I don’t understand why people seem to think this stepdad should be financially responsible for his wife's son from her first marriage. $100, $10...it doesn't matter. It's the principle. The law doesn’t see stepparents as financially responsible…and I hope that more stepparents will start to be smart and set boundaries like OP's DH has. The son has two parents, and OP's husband isn't one of them.[/quote]

Don't get married to someone with kids (no matter what their age) if you're not prepared to nurture a relationship. You're on team DH because you're a cold-hearted stepparent cu**.[/quote]

Why must nurturing a relationship be tied to a non-bio adult parting with their money? I reckon you're a woman because you are really bitchy.[/quote]

Not only is she a woman, but she is a SAHM I'm betting judging by how in her feelings she is on this topic. She sounds like a shrew.[/quote]
