It is not always like that,especially when the kids start coming,the step child is always at risk.some men even go to the extreme to rape their step daughter.

Good point.

Put (re)marry to stress that it isn't compulsory to marry.

pocohantas:
Oh, I get you now. So, a man doesn’t owe his step kids financial support or rather, he shouldn’t be forced to do it. I quite agree with this. Would we also understand with women who say they don’t owe their step-kids support? Or do we call them wicked stepmothers?

While you have a strong point, we should also understand it is not this easy in the real world. I don’t think anyone would be happy being in a marriage with someone who draws the line in how they treat the step-kids. Not like it is compulsory to even re(marry).

Being capable of producing spermatozoa is not all it takes to be a father.
Unfortunately,that's true.
But the step father may also not be willing to be a father as well.

I won’t. I will just find one advanced bachelor and we would be partners for life. I can’t deal with all that “bring your kids, don’t bring your kids, mine comes first, I owe yours nothing”.

Abeg! I will just stay with my kids and seek companionship.
You know the drill! cheesy
Same here, infertile single lady.No problems.

Yeah but the stepfather may also be willing.

Life is filled with variables. What some won't do, others will. No Biggie.

None is compulsory. Just stay on your own, rather than try to impose your “baggage” on an unwilling partner.

....Sis.The new husband or husband to be doesn't have a say here.

The matter is between the first husband and the wife and is gonna be possible if the woman can prove the irresponsible acts of the first husband substantially.

If not,the first husband might get the custody of the child.
Okay I was under the assumption that the ex isn’t in the life of the kids while the new man does want them.

If the biological dad does want the kids and the mom wants the kids too, they have to work out a suitable custody arrangement that won’t hurt the kids and will attempt to suit both of them (which won’t necessarily be easy) but they have to do that.
Even if the father of the kids didn’t marry the woman, he still had a right to his kids as long as he wants them.
I don’t support that culture takes paternity rights from men because they didn’t marry the moms of the kids.
However I believe they have equal rights to the kids and decisions should be made based on what’s best for the children (age and needs etc).

Hopefully the people marrying make the right choices.

Father have raped their daughters too. I don’t think the risk is higher because it’s a step daughter. But that’s a ‘by the way’ issue.

Finances is not bigger than emotional labor.


Limited say is same as what i interpreted in my response to you. You’re using too many word to make the points I’m highlighting in your own post.

nkwuocha1:
Limited say,read my post.
Why will a woman take care of the step kids finance?For what?If she doesn't want to,no problem.Its the responsibility of the father to take care of ALL his kids from different women.

It is not a man that goes into a woman's family.Its the other way round,and so she is expected to come take care of the home and NOT mandated to provide for her kids talk more step kids when the husband is alive.She can help,that's all.

If a woman should marry a man with stepkids already, make she respect her self and don't make their lives unbearable.Simple!

How do you make the right choice in getting married,it is difficult,because of the hidden "personal" interest of the parties involved.

Mutual benefits is one way to go.

If it’s one sided all the time, it won’t hold. So after all the love and feelings and what not have been established, make sure the someone stands to benefit from you as you are from them. That way neither of you will be easily dispensable to each other.

Your premise is faulty.

If the children are with her in her second marriage, you have to assume that the husband accepted them, at least at the onset of the marriage.
For the bolded part, no one can really blame the woman. However this can be partially prevented if the children are well behaved and the woman herself is financially independent. For example by sending the children to boarding school, etc. At least one thing is sure: there's a level to which someone can mistreat you if you don't rely on them for money

In my honest opinion which I think I have the right to .... There's a two side to a coin ... The former husband might be late or not ... If not late he may be irresponsible or responsible ... If responsible child support follows ... now if not for a struggling single mother I think it's only proper u help ... If not leave her alone !

True.

I personally think a man/woman who have decided to marry a partner with kids should fend financially and emotionally for them.

Of course I know it is based on circumstance, that is why I added “all things being equal”. If every other factor is in place, minors should be with their mothers. Most times I have seen men take kids, they dump them with an elderly female relative. Meaning they know women will do better with caregiving, so why take the child away from the mother (a woman too)? It is all spite.

In all this separation/divorce wahala, parents need to put aside their issues and understand the kids are the major victims. Whatever is best for the kids should be done.

As for remarrying, I no fit o. I no fit marry Nigerian man twice. Once it is on record that I have once been married, we move. grin grin
If people thought of this, they will be more of mindful of the spouses they pick.

No matter how it is sugar coated, seperation/divorce has a huge impact on the kids especially when a spouse decides to re-marry.

Funny at re-marriage.

Most men pretend to be responsible at the onset,because most women test the dept of the water before jumping into it,jealousy sometimes set in,especially when the step child is doing better than his own.
Yeah, I've seen some cases like that. What would you do if you were the mother in such situation?

Single women should never marry men without huge enough love in them to love their kid(s) too. The kids are part of her if he can’t love them, then that’s no love. A man not willing to extend his love to your kids should ALWAYS be a deal breaker. It’s best she remain single and care for her kid(s).

My point exactly, we wouldn’t need to IMPOSE financial/emotional support on anyone, if both parents understand it is the right thing to do.

All this chuchuchu, is because people marry/date someone that is “insensible”.

I totally agree with the bolded. Whether it's your stepchildren or biological children.
