I do not like being a stepparent. I do not like my stepchildren. I do not like sharing my husband. I do not like my stepchildren's mother. I do not like my husband's expectations of me, nor his Rules for me.

Cons:

• High child support payments
~ Much more than is needed or used/ money funds bio mother's social life
~ We are financially strained

• Must share my husband's time
~ He is a busy CEO with hobbies and sports on the side, already very limited time for me and him
