This site certainly serves as
This site certainly serves as a 'forewarned is forearmed' for people. I have to say, however, that it's really not all bad being married to someone with kids...it's when the kids get to be teenagers that the shit hits the fan. I think a lot of these kids would be the same whether or not their parents split and remarried. Society has changed so quickly and expectations are huge. The gene pool for crazy disorders seems to have w i d e n e d and it's all going to hell in a hand basket!
I have no regrets about being married to a man with spawn of satan kids...they are grown now! I love them all very much, the kids more than they'll ever know or deserve, and I would not change it.
I forgive but I am damned if I'll forget!
When DH and I met we decided
When DH and I met we decided it was great we have adult children which means we can enjoy our lives, they are out of the house and we can travel alone etc
Sure it turned out to be the case with my DD who is on her own and is not causing any problems but not the case with SDs.
They are causing lots of problems in our lives and they are not even troubled.
When we have met I saw HUGE red flags about SDs and DH's relationship with them yet I ignored them. I am not saying it could not work, but I never anticipated it could cause so much problem.

Yep, VERY smart man. I married a woman with 4 daughters thinking life would be great because all except one was over 18 and we'd be able to travel, have plenty of alone time, blah blah blah.
Fast foward 5 years and I think we've MAYBE had a total of four months where one of the SD's isn't living with us at some point. Every single year one of them gets pregnant and pops out another kid they can't afford to take care of. Of course now we have temporary guardianship of one of our grandkids and we get ZERO alone time. Congrats to you for dodging that bullet!!!
