[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Children always end up paying for their parents' divorce. Always. In terms of time, money, attention, everything. Well, your parents ended up happy at least. But you are paying for it. I guess the "trickle down" theory of happiness is bullshit (my kids want me to be happy! They will be thrilled by the divorce and complete randos I introduce into their lives and force them to deal with!)[/quote]As a child of divorce, I would place my parents' lifetime happiness as a higher priority than my desire not to have stepfamily around the holidays. Which is more important? OP is talking about second marriages of 20+ years vs she doesn't like how the holidays play out. Selfish. She's not a child anymore.[/quote] +1. Statements like the PPs reflect people who thinks that kids needs always come first, even when those kids are adults. [/quote]
