[QUOTE="donna723, post: 261285, member: 1883"] I agree with Steely, you'd be getting yourself into a real sticky situation here. None of my business, but are you and the boyfriend planning to marry at some point? At least that way, you'd officially be a stepmom. Steely's right - you would become the mother figure for these children and they would become dependent on you for all those things that a child looks to a mother for. And somehow, being their "fathers girl friend" doesn't sound very permanent, even if you have a wonderful relationship. If he were to go to court to try to get custody of his children, the court might see it that way too. He wants custody of the kids but he works all the time so his "girlfriend" will be doing most of the actual parenting! Not that I don't think that you could do it, and not that I don't think you could be a wonderful, loving influence on these kids, I'm just playing devils advocate here. But it's something to think about. [/QUOTE]
