Should a woman work to support the children she had in a previous relationship? Can she have the option of being a stay at home Mom and not work?

...or should the new spouse have to support them on his own??

Your thoughts?

Why is this even a question? Oh right, misogyny. That's why.

How about the new couple decide together what's going to work best for both of them, hmmm?

If the woman has a new spouse, he chose to take on the responsibilities of the kids too. So why shouldn't she have to option to stay home if it's feasable? Though, if she has to work to relieve the financial burden, then so be it. This is something that should have been discussed long before marriage.

Among the millions of young women who have children while unmarried, (and with no such plans) this has to be their naive fantasy scenario.

Getting a sperm donation from "Mr. Right. - very difficult.

Finding a guy to support me - after they've got an education - well such men are a dime a dozen. They have to be. Afterall, nobody wanted them in high school.

Reality has a nasty way of biting them on the a$$, but more and more its society that's getting the teeth marks!

Here's what I would tell her:

Don't get a "new spouse." Just have a live-in BF. Then you, him and the kids can live off your alimony/child support and in the house your old spouse pays for. Once kids turn 18, you and old spouse sell family home. Take your share of the money and buy a condo for you and BF.

If the kids live with their mom, then yes it is necessary because marriage means the whole package and he wouldn't of gotten married if he wasn't thinking of supporting her and the kids. Simple logic. A man doesn't just jump into marriage without knowing all the details . And if thats his choice, then thats that.

Isn't that really up to the mother and her new husband? There is no one answer here, every situaton is different.

Definitely up to the couple. But, if my man told me that he'd marry me but wasn't supporting my kids because they're not his, he'd be history. What kind of prick would even think that was an option?

You can only answer this question after you've found a sucker who will support the kids. For most guys, they won't. However there are a lot of losers out there who will.

like 90% of guys.

I will absolutely without a doubt not support someone else's kids. No thanks! Rather spend the money on myself, thanks for the offer though

I don't even date single moms even for NSA sex. I know if I get her pregnant she will not have an abortion.
