[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real question is, does anyone know someone who married someone with kids who is actually, legitimately happy and better off than they would have been if they remained single and/or held out to marry someone with no kids? I don't.   [/quote]

It's really, really hard to know because people aren't honest about this stuff, even to themselves.  And because they don't know what the future will hold.  They might have been fine with it when the children were minors but then when the children need substantial support as adults they aren't fine with it, for example.  They might be thinking their stepchildren will care for them in old age and then it doesn't turn out that way.  Marrying with an age difference is all fun and games at first, the hard part is back-loaded and you're doing elder-care while the second batch of kids is still teens.  People don't really know how they feel about their choices until they see how it plays out.[/quote]

+1000.  At least you can always divorce. [/quote]
