[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's going to go badly. The kids will be spoiled and entitled. The new wife wants to pretend she didn't marry an old man with baggage, but she did, and she's going to resent the time he spends with his original children and, eventually, his grandchildren. She might not get to have as many of her own kids as she wanted. The older he gets, the more she'll hate what she chose for herself, because she'll have to do most of the parenting as well as deal with his aging, and a long widowhood starts to seem like a real thing. It's not an easy thing for a wife. [/quote]

She also wants to have authority over wife #1’s kids.[/quote]

Yes. And she wants them to show up and do a command performance of Happy Family, but not for too long, and never need help with anything. And they have to pretend to care about her relatives sometimes, and love the baby, and accept that their father just isn't going to be much of a grandfather because he's too busy keeping his wife happy so he doesn't end up with another divorce.[/quote]
