[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never bring a step parent into my child's life. If anything were to happen to my DH, I would remain single until they were out of the house. [/quote]

You're assuming he dies. What if he's abusive and you choose to leave him? Would that change your answer at all? [/quote]

No, why would it? I might then be even more concerned that my kids needed my undivided attention. I'd also be concerned that about my "picker" and not want to subject them to future concern about abusive men in the house. [/quote]

+1000 I would never remarry until kids out of the house. I put my kids needs above my own though. [/quote]

I'm glad someone feels this way. I from the bottom of my soul do not get how parent's neglect to process that step parents - even ones with the best of intentions - end up making kids feel like they come second, like they are guests in their own home.

So glad my mom did not feel this way. My dad adopted his 'step' daughter. She would also not have a sister (me).
