before i married my husband, i know that he already has 2 kids in a previous relationship. that's the reason why my parents did not approve of him. i still married him and accepted the kids as my own. eventhough we have our own kids now (we have 2), my relationship with them never changed. and i'm glad that they also accepted me to be their 2nd mom.
now my parents already accepted him in the family.

Good for you for being so open and understanding!! My husband accepted me and my daughter and she is his little girl now. Her biological dad doesn't see her anymore-his choice. So I am so thankful for my husband taking care of us! You are a great woman to take care of and love his kids like your own!! You deserve alot of credit because I think it would be hard for me to do that!!

As a single woman,I admire you very much.I dont know if I would have the courage to accept his kids if I were in your shoes.True love is so powerful that it can change everything in the world.My english teacher once told me 'treat others like you want to be treated.'Thats absolutely right.

My ex-husband had two children when he got married and my parents accepted them far quicker than they accepted my husband. The divorce wasn't their fault and my parents treated them just like they were grandkids by birth. They were only 1 and 2 when I became their second mom and they adored me. In fact they called me mom and their mom by her first name. I think they only did it to bug her. We are now divorced and I am still in contact with the kids, I still adore them and they me. I am now remarried with my daughter from my first marriage being adored my her new step dad. Its funny because my first husband has no contact with all three of his kids by his choice. But his exwife and I are good friends....

That's nice of you for accepting your husband's kids...that's really rare because usually the problem would lie on the step mom, but you have proven that not all step moms are bad after all. I am really touched with your sharing, resulting to a mutual feeling between you and your step kids. You're a family now, and you are to be commended for your acceptance and understanding. Hope that even when the kids have grown up, they will not change, and you will continue to treat them as your own. God bless....

As someone who had a step-parent who accepted me and my sisters as his own children and treated and raised us as such, THANK YOU.
I had both, actually 1 step-parent who treated us like his own kids and 1 step-parent who treated us as tho we were outsiders invading her life whenever we visited or called.
My stepdad accepting us and treating us like that made a huge impact in our lives, especially since our biological father ahs been a non-entity for the past 10 years or so.
