[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe the step-kids won't come. One thing that sucks about being an ACOD is the pressure to spend your holidays with people you aren't actually related to and don't care about. Everyone knows if the married couple split up, they'd never see each other again. [b]Divorced people shouldn't expect everyone else to cater to them like this.[/b][/quote]

Once you’re divorced you can no longer expect to be accepted by your family? That’s what you must mean because nowhere do I see the brother expecting to be catered to[/quote]

Seems like he wants to bring a LOT of people who don't get along with each other. It's unpleasant for others.[/quote]

Why would the new wife and step kids want to attend anyway, knowing it is causing problems and they aren’t really wanted? If the son wants to attend, he should just do so alone. Presumably, it is for a few hours. Best for all, and easiest for all.  The new wife can bond with the family another time, when the ex’s kids are not there.

If the son divorced the new wife tomorrow, would they ever even see her or her kids again? Highly likely not. It is just the way it is. Of course the grandkids are far more important. And the son did this to himself- what did he expect? Over time, things may change. [/quote]

Probably not. My uncle married a woman with 2 kids, he had no kids of his own. But when he passed we lost contact with his step kids, their mother had passed a few years earlier. Haven't seen or heard from them in years.[/quote]
