Have you found the right balance of step parenting to where it does not affect the marriage? I have a friend who is on the verge of his 2nd divorce because of the constant scorekeeping from his wife of what he does for his own vs his step kids. She seems to be jealous of anything he does for his own and it has driven a huge wedge between the two.

I'm 28 and single. Should I just accept the fact that I'm going to be a step parent one day?

Nah. I am couple years older and just got myself a hot doctor with no kids or ex husbands. They are out there.

i'm not a step parent but my wife is. we married young enough to have more kids, but alas she could not conceive. i'd be lying if i said the dynamic of managing the complexities of step parenting has not strained our marriage over the years because it has

I'm 47 on second marriage, she had no kids, I had one, she treats all our kids EXACTLY the same, whether she's their biological mother or not. My now 26 year old calls her mom in fact, and has for years and woah is anyone who tells her that he isn't her son.
Long story short, tell your friend to pick better mates

Honestly this is why God forbade divorce in the first place. Not how it's supposed to be.

Raising someone else's kids? Not good, baw.

Being a step-parent is a hell of a balancing act. For the reasons you mention and others. If the guys kids are living with his ex and he only gets them on weekends and some holidays, I'm sure he's being very attentive to them during that time. As for the step-kids, I'm betting he's just as attentive, but not all the time since they are probably living under the same roof and he sees them 24/7.
The current wife needs to chill the frick out. One emotion I WILL NOT deal with is jealousy, whether it's her thinking there's another woman, hobby or friends taking up too much time, or even worse, over kids.
Hey, if the marriage goes tits up, maybe it's for the better, and lesson learned before jumping back into another serious relationship.

I am and to be honest this is the ONLY thing my wife and I argue about. It's tough merging families together I am here to tell you both parties have to be willing to give a little or it is destined for failure. So anyone looking to re marry and has kids either be prepared for this and understand you will need to compromise or DONT GET MARRIED if you are not able/willing too!!
You might say this will not happen to us, Yes it will!!!!!
My wife and I are great together and I am so much happier than my first marriage but this still happens to us...

I was with both ex wives 5 yrs each.
I've been with my gf(future ex3) for 7 yrs since.
Just last night she called me a "broke dick motherfricker who pays everything the ex-coont wives(her words) ask for and don't leave anything for us". She was mad b/c she wants a big new house and that she spends all her extra $$ on the kids when we have them. The crazy girl started selling R&F FOR extra money to do stuff with the kids.
Today she loves me and we're house-hunting this weekend.
Women are crazy.

You're a moron for allowing that type of behavior.
