[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Somehow I think the very same people who complain about their parents dating and/or remarrying are the same ones who will be bitching and moaning how they don't have a life, expect too much time from their children, are too needy and don't understand just how very, very busy and stressful their own lives are and they cannot believe how needy their parents are.[/quote]

Maybe.  But since my parent didn't wait until I was an independent adult, it's hard to tell.  I think it is worse if the remaining parent has children dependent on him/her, but decides to quickly find a new significant other while the children are still grieving.  If I had been a married adult when this happened, I don't think it would have messed me up so terribly.  I think parents with dependent children really are selfish for dating/marrying very quickly after the other parent's death.  A step mother will never really love the widower's kids as her own, especially if the kids are already in their teens and are visibly mourning their mother. [/quote]
