[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom remarried when I was ten, had my half-brother. My dad remarried a couple years later, and a half-brother and half-sister resulted from that marriage. It sucked to shuttle between two intact families (to echo a PP) living with their *family* while I was not. Christmases with stepfamilies etc.  It only accentuated the things that suck about being a child of divorce. But that's life. It's up to you, OP. [/quote]

I'm kind of horrified at how many of you think op should put her own plans ahead of her daughter. The poor kid didn't ask for any of this, including being the child of a broken home in the first place.

Op wait til she's 18. Then get married and have all the additional kids you want. [/quote]

I'll be pushing 50 when she's 18, babies will be out of the question by then.[/quote]

OP, this means you're currently pushing 43? There are people who do it, and lots of them are on this forum. More power to them if that's what they want to do. I'm the poster with the joint-custody only child teen again. Personally (and it's just me I'm talking about, here) I got remarried when my child was twelve. Among all the other reasons I didn't have another baby, the idea of starting over with a baby in my forties after getting a child well into adolescence was not appealing to me. That's having a ten year old at 53 and a fifteen year old at 58. However, I'm not everybody. Some people do and are very happy. [/quote]
