My Dad married someone with 3 kids under 7 years old... Must have worked out well - since I moved my 86 year old Dad in to my house a year ago..
P.S. I married someone with a 9 year old.. Has worked out real well...
And that’s GREAT.
I was DIRECTLY talking about the ‘hood.
I think step parents, the good ones, are the BEST among us.
They truly hear God’s word and live it.
I should have been more clear. Having kids in the ghetto at 15 or 17 with a man who has no job and a prison record and then letting whoever you date next be the “daddy” usually ends up bad.
I TRIED to be a stepfather to two kids from the ‘hood and I loved them after 2 plus years but i met them too late and you just get tired.
13 and 15. doesn’t sound old but when you’e seen what they had seen already, mother beaten and raped over and over though the years, it was too late to change them, at least my best wasn’t good enough
