[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't even go out with someone with kids.  Too much drama with ex and kids. [/quote]

[b]This has been my policy. But once you marry someone, you need to be the best step parent you possibly can be.[/b] [/quote]

True, but step parents often get a hard dose of reality when they try to be the model step parent to difficult stepchildren.[/quote]

Step parents are the adults and they had a choice to be or not to be in the difficult situation.  The children are not adults and they did have a choice.

OP-  try looking at if from your step children's perspective.  [/quote]

Agree that the children don't have a choice but step parent deserve respect, support and understanding.  It is difficult in almost all circumstances, but especially when major changes happen.  Just because you choose to marry someone with kids doesn't mean you give up your right to live a stable, healthy and happy life.  You don't agree to contribute your time and money and emotions just to be disrespected or marginalized either by the kids, their mom, or in laws.  You are also part of the family and your needs and desires should be considered as well.  The adults in the situation are often the ones creating the problems.[/quote]
