[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A complete an utter cluster fuck, that is what remarriage did to my family. So selfish of my parents to divorce and remarry and create new families.

Blended families do not work out. The Brady Bunch scenario is a myth. My parents only created the same problems with new people. They should have just stayed together. It would have been cheaper and created less heartache for all. [/quote]

I have a couple of friends who divorced and remarried and from the outside looking in, I bet their kids will say something similar to this one day.

Both friends have been re-married for about 3 years and both are facing the same exact issues from their first marriage.  Then there is the burden of all the extra family relationships including their ex spouses having remarried and having kids. The kids on the surface seem ok but one of my friend constantly complains to anyone who will listen including her DD, that her DD is too whiny, too bratty and used to be more "mature" when she was younger (her DD is now 9).  She never seems to correlate the change in her DD's behavior to the divorce/remarriage/new kids/new spouse/new houses routine.  I do think parents really gloss over the situation and just really want everything to be ok.  A few weeks ago we were driving her DD home after a playdate and I said that we had to hurry and get her home because it was getting late and she just randomly said I don't really have a home - I have mom's house and dad's house.

This is where the court's have failed big time. I've worked with a lot of children over the years and joint custody needs to stop. It's been a disaster for the kids and which is  what counts. They need to live in one stable home CP, visitation to the other home.  [/quote]
