Even if the ex of the person had primary custody, who is to say those kids wouldn't decide to up and come live with Duh, or were taken from their mother and handed over to their father? Imagine trying to run off on a spur-of-the-moment vacation with your partner and their fucking kids show up on your doorstep asking to live with you.

Which is precisely why I've never given and divorced duhs or baby daddies the time of day. Their kids are THEIR problem, not mine. The worst part is when they beg and act all entitled, as if they're owed romantic affection because whatever relationships produced their kids didn't work out. Again, that's THEIR problem, not mine. I remember reading some whiney bullshit on a Canadian news site about how women up there are soooooo mean and soooooo prejudiced for not dating single duhs who message them on dating sites. WTF? So these women aren't supposed to have standards?Quote

Being a step-parent is definitely still a parent. I especially feel this way because I have seen so many situations where both bio-parents ditch the kid and it's the former step-parent that steps up to raise the kyd. Hell, I know someone who's mother had her at freaking 14 and she raised entirely by her grandmother and step-grandfather.

Now, you might have a person who marries someone with *adult* children. Is this a "step parent"? Well, it wouldn't be doing any hands on parenting but of course there may be (probably will be) some kind of impact to the CF person's life.
I like older men and yet I am still on guard re- adult children. Sure I wouldn't have to "parent" a 25 year old kid - but - what if that 'kid' HAS kids?
You can bet there will be eyes looking at you to babysit, wanting money, planning the sappy Famblee Parties - these are the things I fear.
Now you could probably say to this person - I do not want to be involved with little children in any way shape or form. But, this is going to make you look like an asshole and will cause friction.
I would think moreso for the female CF; A woman is expected to be "motherly" and "famblee oriented". And that goes for grand children or step grand children too. Grandpa can show face and then go sit on the back porch and drink beer with the guys - he can opt out of most of it and won't be questioned - but GrandMa or even Step GrandMa - yeah - she will come off as a "selfish cold asshole" for doing the same. And GrandPa will probably agree with that too, even if *he* has little interest in the grand kids.

How about about the possibility of illegitimate kids re-appearing? Mr. Hannigan has a relative who sired a child while serving overseas...the guy supposedly signed away all his rights and fled from the moo and the kid, but who's to say the little bastard (literally) won't show up on his doorstep, say, 12 years from now, looking for daddy?
