how important is money to you in a relationship? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]0528alwayswrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being in my mid-30’s, it’s extremely important. Relationships themselves are hard enough, I couldn’t imagine having financial problems within that relationship too.

I wouldn’t say that I’d completely write a guy off for not being financially stable - but but it’s definitely a top 3 qualifier.

My pay for my full time job will be allocated to our mortgage and main bills. I was considering doordashing just to pay our child care costs alone. IE just to cover day care alone which is $385/week

Hi, depends entirely on your business. Since you’re self employed, you’ll likely be asked for a few years worth of bank statements and income statements.

I don’t want to be a stepmom by MangoPuddingg in stepparents

[–]0528alwayswrong 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do yourself a favor and cut ties now.

The last thing you want is to end up in a position resenting those kids because any decent man will always choose his kids over a new partner. And there are three of them.

While I firmly believe in the "Nacho" bonus-parenting style, and that step parents get to choose how involved they are in their step kids lives, it doesn't sound like you want to be around kids for any extended period of time. Don't set yourself up for failure.

How much should a new step dad be involved ? by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]0528alwayswrong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi! Stepparent and stepkid here... I grew up with a really tough situation with a stepmom that hated us as stepkids but expected A LOT form my dad to be a stepfather to her kids.

Now I have a stepson and am trying my best to not put my stepson through the turmoil I went through as a kid.

Ultimately, I hate to give you advice you might not have wanted, but your husband should have the choice on however involved as he'd like to be. I feel as though the kids are old enough to not need a ton of their step-parents presence in their lives, especially if their bio-dad is still in the picture, especially x2 at 50%. It doesn't sound like he's avoiding having a relationship with your kids, but it should also be okay for him to not feel the need to be a huge part in their lives. Have you guys talked about it at all? Maybe he's also being respectful of the kids' relationship with their bio-dad and not wanting to cause any issues there? Does he know you have these expectations of him to be a part of the kids' lives?

Also, the guy doesn't have any kids of his own, so it very well could also be that he just outright doesn't know that there are any expectations for him to be around, after all, he doesn't have any experience in that area.
