I am FT employed, and didn't want children until I had my first (2 boys 15 and almost 14).
DH got custody of SD 21 when she was 5 and she lived with us until 18. Her mother is mental and did not have contact for all 13 of those years.
I have been disengaged for 7 years. Also have 2 other skids over 18; one I have never met and the other I have been disengaged from for a year and a half.

SO has kids. SS19 and SS15
SS15 lives with us FT for two years now
BM is a mother that doesn't give a Sh*t about her kid - ThiS - and only wants to see him when SS19 is home and she can post MOTY photos

No kids
DH had two kids when we met 5 and 9
We did have custody of one of the girls over the years
BM was custodial for the most part but high conflict moty and had no problem with repeatedly disappointing her kids or drawing them into her drama.

Now both girls are adults and live independently and we don't have any communication with BM

No kids - Never want them. I can be around kids 5+ ok. When I started dating, my strict rule was "no babies and no kids under age 5" - DH had a 7 & 9 yo, now my SDs.
Skid lives with us 50/50...although that may change with SD14 (to much less time).
BM is not a bad person, but just a little odd and not communicative. She's emotionally removed a bit and like DH, doesn't seem to hold the SDs to any rules. Disney DH and Disney BM.

This was my exact situation up until a year and a half or so ago when I started wanting a baby and now I have a beautiful 4 month old. But I know the struggle well. My SDs BM barely sees her so we have her full time and I never liked kids before. I still don’t like other people’s kids. Prior to maternity leave, I worked full time running the company I work for - usually about 60 hours a week.

I used to hate being expected to miss work to care for SD or do something for her like driving her somewhere. It drove me crazy. I didn’t enjoy the family life and resented having to put work on hold sometimes. So I’m guessing we probably have some things in common. Feel free to message me anytime.

Currently not working. No kids yet. I want to secure bag 1st. I still want to further my studies.

DH has 2 under the age of 15. BM doesn't really care about her kids, she cares more about church (5days in a week) and barely spend quality time with them. During holidays and weekends, she sends them over to us. 

Historically I was a successful career full time working StepDad, no bio kids, married to a full time, full physical and legal custody mom who pursued and completed her education (Dual major BS, MBA, CPA) and has a great career.

We had SS-27 full time from age 2 until he aged out from under the Custody/Visitation/Support CO at 18.  The SpermClan had 7wks of visitation per year (5wks summer/1wk winter/1wk spring) and paid a pittance in CS until SS turned 12 when it was raised to a reasonable amount.

SS asked me to adopt him when he was 22.  We made that happen.

My DW and I have enjoyed our Empty Nester years for the past 9 years and have worked around the world since SS launghed.  

I am looking forward to my next career opportuntiy.
