[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes if you are a normal step mom.

No if you are the other woman.[/quote]

Not true.  My sister married someone years after his divorce and the ex wife has been awful to her.  My sister ended up disengaging entirely from her spouse's first family situation.  They have their own family now and while he attends big events for his older kids, who are now spread out all over, his relationship with them is not what it would have been if his ex wife hadn't been so horrible to him and my sister.  His older kids and my sister both prefer not to be in the same place, so she loses her husband a few nonholiday weekends a year and she takes some weekends for herself with me or her friends and leaves their young kids with him just to get a break.

At some point, he should choose his current wife and kids if the older kids don't really want him around.  They are adults and can make their own choices.  Her kids shouldn't have to miss out with their dad.[/quote]
