One woman found herself dealing with this dilemma after she reached her limit in her relationship with her boyfriend's children. The couple had been together for three years, and she was his first partner after their mother had passed away over eleven years ago.
Despite the fact that she had been in their lives for two years and that the couple had attempted different methods at building a connection, the two kids had refused to warm to her.
The woman was left in a position where she was considering ending the relationship, as she wanted to be a mom and didn't feel that it was fair to bring more children into the situation as it was. The rest of her partner's family had made it clear that they liked having her around, and she wondered if she was being too severe.

31-year-old woman considers ending relationship with partner of 3 years because his 14 and 12-year-old kids continually reject her: 'I want to be a mom'
Few people become parents while in a relationship and then expect to be on the hunt for another partner at some point in the future. Nonetheless, that is exactly what happens to many. Couples break up, people leave unexpectedly, and sometimes, they even pass away.
For those who are faced with the prospect of being a single parent, deciding whether or not to date again can be a dilemma. On the one hand, already having kids should not be a barrier to experiencing love with somebody new. On the other hand, parents have a responsibility to their family to make sure that any partner they choose is a good fit for their lifestyle.
As every single step-parent horror story shows, plenty of moms and dads get this wrong. However, while creating a happy home environment is the main duty of the adults, it's important that the children contribute in some ways as well.
