touched nerve there gm47
as a step dad, and i've had a step dad. i've no regrets, i know some kids will not get on with their step parents, but then how many kids get on with thier own parents, and how many parents get along with any kids.
britian now has millions of families with step kids, whats so mature about not getting involved with someone who has kids ? what you saying that someone who gets involved with step kids is not mature . my point was that if you dont try, you dont know ! just becuase she has a child already, is that a red light to you, without even knowing the child or her.
so what if you have had kids before, what that got to do with it ? , yes you do have to be careful when you enter a relationship where a child is involved, even more so when you have your own kids in a relationship, but that dont stop 1 out of 3 marriages ending in divorce and kids torn in the middle.
'many father' syndrome, how about 'no father' sydrome which is whats up with many kids today.
my attack was at the guys out there, who for their selfish reasons will not accept someone else kids, becuase they are not the bio father and it dents their macho pride. it was not at people who already have kids, dont want any more kids, are too old , or what ever other reason. it was aimed at those out there who think 'iam not bringing up someone elses kid', thank god there are million out there who dont think like that, and who are step parents.... and to me they are the mature ones.. what ever mature means to you.
