[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This kind of thing is odd.

It’s strange for a 50 or 60 year old man to want to start over with babies.  As a woman I was barely interested in stroller shopping and nursery planning for baby #2.  I don’t understand why a 60 year old would be up for doing this again at an old age.

I also can’t imagine why any young woman with options would want to sign up for a marriage with someone old enough to be their dad.

It makes me think there is something very wrong with the woman.  I assume the man is simply after sex with someone younger. [/quote]

This thread has stirred up an amazing amount of vitriol. It seems like a lot of middle aged divorced men with children marry younger women who want their own children. This leaves the first set of children abandoned in terms of time, emotional and financial support that is occasionally required. My children are in their twenties, and while they no longer need me the way they did as little ones, we certainly interact and spend vacations and holidays together. Everyone benefits. It’s very surprising to me that so many second wives on this thread think that their step kids have no call on their husbands time or money. That some would divorce their husbands if they went on a trip with their older children. In my extended family we gather from across the country every year and see each other often. Perhaps not coincidentally, no one among my husband’s relatives is divorced.[/quote]
