I'm a 40yo man and recently became in volved with a wonderful woman. Although I am divorced from a short-lived marriage, I have no kids and no baggage. The woman whom I am involved with has 3 kids (14,18,23) and a 14month grendson. There are two ex husbands who are real winners in the most sarcatic was I could say. I wonder what I am getting into. I have not been around kids much but that does not mean I don't like them. I know this is going to be a huge adjustment. Just want to make sure before it goes any further. Any advice?

Personally, I never had kids of my own and I think it was because I knew I didn't want anyone depending on me or living with me except my husband. Damn, that's cold. My stekids aren't too nice. I told myself, they're older, they will be gone soon; but when they're older it's too late for them to change, and they never do go away. Just ask yourself if you can live with them if they don't "come around". And whether or not you feel bad about not having any of your own.
