I think she should have a serious talk with the husband and find out how he can better juggle the two things. The new wife does NOT deserve to be neglected, nor should she sacrifice her happiness. The husband has to learn how to accomodate his kids AND his new wife. The responsibility and inconvenience should fall on him, not her. If he can't, or won't, and she's not happy, she should leave IMO.

Any "new" wife that tries to keep you away from your kids is not worth having. Dump the new, selfish, vindictive hag.

I didn't vote because this is a crazy poll. You didn't have an option for take the kids and forget about the selfish new wife. I don't understand chosing a new spouse over your kids.

And why not? If a man has children with his first wife, his first obligation is to raise his kids, not ditch them for wife number 2!

Causing problems and don't want the new wife anywhere close to her kids? Should there be a choice? Should the wife demand that attention be placed on her and her alone? Or should she sacrifice, humbel herself... and give in? The husband had a choice and left the family. So why she must be the one to sacrifice for his errors?
I dont think any Man or Women should Re-Marry if they have kids until the kids are all grown up 18 and over why put the kids thru Hell.

She's not sacrificing for his errors, she's living up to the bargain she made when she married him. The children need to come first. The adults in the situation are the ones who signed up for whatever has to be done to see to that.
I'd agree. But some parents totally confuse what children need and what they need to give. Children need a good role model and a sense of their place in the world - which isn't "first" but "part of". And some kids manipulate the situation. A new wife could be a normal generous person and still be in a losing situation. In which case she should leave and find a less dysfunctional bunch.

This thread is too long for me to read the whole thing so I'll base my comment on OP.

It's a sick game that ex-wives play with their husbands. It is far more difficult for a woman to get remarried than a man. So to punish him for moving on with his life, she creates a situation where he has to choose between his new wife and his children. Courts sometimes intervene and allow visitation with the new wife but the ex will still make life difficult.

This type of situation is why when men leave their family they start a new one and don't deal with the old family. The only people who suffer are the children who lose their father because their mother is so busy being vindictive she drives him away.

I tend to agree as it is Hell for everybody involved.
