What if I want to remarry but I don't want stepchildren?

Susan Davis (Founder and Director, StepFamily Center) gives expert video advice on: What if my children don't like my fiance?; Should I consult my children if I want to remarry?; Can I still remarry if my children don't like my fiance? and more...

When people ask me, "I fell in love with someone and I want to remarry and they have children, and I don't want to be a step-parent". My answer to that is: then don't marry that person, period. There's really nothing more to say because your partner comes with children, they're going to be a parent. If you are there you are going to be in a step-parent role, like it or not. So if you don't like children, if you don't want to be a parent, don't do it.
