[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Should be just another discussion.  He knew you had kids when he married you.  It comes with the territory.  He may have married you but he took on a family.

Discuss it the same way you would discuss paying for the schooling of a biological child. You're a unit now, not two camps.[/quote]

Another plus one million.  I'm a stepparent and also a bioparent.  Discussions about finances in our house involve both the adults in the household, regardless of which child they are related to.   I would be livid if DH made a decision that seriously impacted our family's finances without discussing it with me.  Doesn't matter if it's tuition for his child (my stepchild), quitting his job, or buying a Porsche.

Luckily, he's an awesome husband and great dad to both of his kids.  We have a good marriage.  OP, if it's going to eat up that much of your income I do think it's a decision that your spouse needs to be involved in.  [/quote]
