[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting how this thread zeroed in on the perceived failings of the new wife even more than the father himself.

For those women who are quick to pounce just remember that statistically you just might be the new wife and the dreaded, awful stepmother at some point, too.

Even if you are in your 50s, 60s or 70s when it happens and the kids are in their 30s and 40s, you will still be found at fault in every way possible. Be ready for it.[/quote]

Case in point right here on DCUM on another thread:

"It looks like my widower father (80) might be remarrying. I (his child) am designated as the beneficiary on all of his accounts - savings, life insurance, etc. If he does, indeed, remarry, how can I protect [b]his new wife from taking his funds[/b]?"

Notice the inference that the "new wife" is automatically suspect for money grabbing. She may be independently wealthy, she may have absolutely no designs on a single penny of his assets but is still perceived as an evil stepmother-to-be.   [/quote]
