Maybe she is just tired of babies being popped out into her space for the past 15 years?![/quote]

Do you think divorced men should always cater to their first set of kids needs? Give them all the attention and time? That isn’t a positive, it creates entitled children. Divorced men should be allowed to move on.[/quote]

Move ON from the mistakes were made kids from first marriages? Wow. [/quote]

No, that isn’t what I implied. The first set of kids shouldn’t be made to think, that the world revolves around them, that is all. Their father marrying another woman, and having children with her isn’t the worst thing that could possibly ever happen to them.[/quote]
Sometimes it is. If there’s not enough attention and money for more children without shortchanging the first family, don’t have more kids.[/quote]

It’s not a bad thing. There are far worse things kids could face than their father finding happiness again. There are enough resources and love to go around. And why shouldn’t we have the typical number of children in a family—two or three? Why should a woman be expected to give up her dream of having a family just because her husband was previously divorced and already has two kids? Should every decision we make revolve solely around that? “Let’s only have one child because he already has two”—no. We’re building our own family, too.[/quote]
