To Step Parents: Would you do it again?

Question

If you are a step parent and you could re-live your life, would you be a step parent again?

Answer 1

NO-enuf said!!!

Answer 2

Yes!  I'd love to do it again & be able to start with the experience that I've already earned over the past 10 years, but even without that, knowing how it all has played out & turned out so far, I would do it again, all the hard stuff, all the lessons learned, in a heartbeat.  I am honored to have the relationship that I now have with my stepdaughter.  We've worked hard to get here & her presence in my life enriches it endlessly.  

Answer 3

Without a doubt. I have no problems with my step daughter what so ever. She's a sweetheart and a half and we have a fantastic relationship. While it was hard at first, trying to figure out where exactly my place was, it's now a really enjoyable position. The only thing I don't like about it is her mother...that woman's goal in life is to try and make me miserable lol.

Answer 4

No.  We used to have to not only take my husband's son, but his two sisters, as they professed he was their dad too.  Yeah, dad because he would buy them stuff when we had them.  Super long story short, due to the son's behavior and his mother's insanity we no longer even see him.  He is now 16 and has done everything from have a man arrested for assault (false) and a neighbor that tried to help them arrested for attempted sodomy (false).  We tried for years to make the boy see wrong from right, but like his mother he just didn't care.  Whatever benefitted him was his lifestyle.  The sodomy thing stopped his visits for us, as we have two small children that we do not need caught up in their drama, or ourselves be falsely accused of crimes.

Answer 8

Answer 9

When my husband and I married we wrote our own vows. The last line of his vows was, "Thank you for giving me the honor of sharing in the lives of your children. I promise to love, honor and respect them just as much as I will you."

There has not been a day in 24 years that he has not live up to that promise.
