I'm going through a living hell with a friend that married a dad of five. I believe her stepchildren don't want their dad thinking more of stepmom than their birth mom.
Just be grateful they don't try to destroy you!!!!

I made a rule many years ago that if I were to meet a man, my one no-no was he could not have any children, small or grown. Nope, seen to many relationships turn to crap because of the kids from the previoius relatioinship. Not worth the headaches...

Right, Chatty. My stepson, who is nearly 38, has the same rule. He says that "it's enough to take care of ME, let alone another person AND her kids".

I told him that he has every right to be choosy. But in all honestly, even though "I" have issues with steps, (no former experience and no training in that area whatsoever before hand) they are blessings! I just know that, if DH dies before me, I'm in the past. Which is fine...way too much to deal with. I'd have to move back East w/my family as I could not afford to stay here.

I remarried a man that had not been wed before. He had NO kids. Thank God. My friend had never been married before when she married that guy with 5 grown children. And 4 of them had families of their own. But still the grief tht lady has sustained is unbelievable. The woman was successful, self-reliant, and financially stable. Now she has nothing! Chatty has the right idea. Go for guys without kids!

I understand you can't always help the person with whom you fall in love. There are awesome looking guys in the world.
But guard you heart and seek wisdom but all treasure.
