[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

It’s more often men in their late forties or early fifties who want to remarry and have more kids. Usually they’re very wealthy. It’s not just about sex because that’s easy to find without having to start a family. They want a young, beautiful wife and a young family. In more modern examples, they end up with intellectual peers as well - women with an md, jd or mba.  There are a few successful, long lasting families like this where the man is very committed to his new family and very rich.   It’s what he chose and he’s committed. The rest are total disasters - the men end up disappointing everyone. His young wife leaves him because he doesn’t have enough time or money for her and he’s old on top of it all. His adult kids hate him. He ends up broke after two divorces. [/quote]

From what I have observed first family kids have been the most messed up.
Turbulent marriage, a vindictive mother, entitled kids treating dad like a check boom.
Second kids have a better relationship with their dads, more attention and a better quality of life.
First wife is jealous of second because she seems to think second has stolen the life she should have had. Passes this nonsense onto kids and that's why so many adult children here are crying about inheritance.
Maybe should have worked harder on your marriage when you had him

Nah. This is all second wife cope. Everyone knows the dad is to blame for bailing on their kids. [/quote]
