[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People really need to consider the children they already have before doing sh*t like this. Why is it all too common to brush them aside for the "new" family? Not fair or right at all. [/quote]

Fair, but they also need to consider their childless partner.  It is entirely natural for someone to want their own biological children.  For some people, spending time with stepchildren makes them realize they enjoy parenting, but they want the complete package, including decision-making authority over how to raise a child, early bonding with a child from birth, and possibly a genetic connection with a child.  People need to think about those things, too, before marrying someone who is childless.  [/quote]

This needs to be considered before getting married. Personally, I think a person who has burning need to have a genetic child of their own is exactly the person you do NOT want to have a second set of kids with. Mom's first set of kids will surely be brushed aside. Only reason to ever consider this is that new husband 100% treats and thinks of mom's kids from prior marriage as his own. This is going to be incredibly rare. This is also why both of my divorced friends (with whom I am close enough to discuss this stuff) ONLY date guys who already have kids of their own. [/quote]

What are you talking about?  Your post makes no sense.  So, your argument is no one should have more than one child.  [/quote]
