[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband walked out on us a few months ago. My son is two. I'm in my early 30s and was hopeful that I could find love again, get remarried and have another child. Guess that's off the table for me! Bummer.[/quote]

Do whatever you want, but your son needs you. His father just walked out. The man you picked to be his father, by the way. The least you could do is not leave him with babysitters while you're off trying to find a new man and a new half-sibling without his consent. [/quote]

Ummm do you know any children who were asked for consent before their biological parents decided to have another child?

Living in a house with 2 bio parents and siblings is completely different than living in a house as the odd-man out while a new family is formed, and you damn well know it. [/quote]

When my DH and I got married, DD was 3. Second DD wasn't born until she was 8. It didn't create a new family anymore than my younger brother being born crewed a new family. DD wanted a sibling and was delighted to have one.

You are willfully dismissing anything that doesn't fit your narrative of step-parents as monsters who ruin kids' lives. No one is saying that doesn't happen or that people should remarry willy-nilly, but the suggestion that all remarriage is bad, selfish, and disregarding of previous children is completely ridiculous.[/quote]
