JLo shouldn’t introduce her kids to her boyfriends until they’ve been married 5 years.

Yeah, as someone who grew up with a mom who couldn't stay single, I always felt bad for her kids because of her constant revolving door of men she brings around them. People don't really think or take into account how exhausting (and also toxic) it is for the kids involved.

There's a lot of judgement cast on mom who date that is completely unfair. However, my aunt is one of those women who can't be single and this has resulted in her introducing some extremely toxic men into her kid's life. It is really exhausting and destabilizing for them.

Yeah, and even if she has a great relationship with the stepkids and her kids have a great relationship with the stepdads, they're still uprooting their lives, constantly moving houses/cities/states (in their case even coasts?). That's a huge burden for kids to have to go through, even if the relationships in question are great, esp since these great relationships are still changing even if they aren't ending (although seems like they did in the case of Ben)

Which led to his daughter boning his ex-stepson that he still views as a son.

Its sunday funday and I thought we were still talking about the Lopez Affleck clan. 😳😳

LMAO I should have clarified that I was referencing the GIF.

But have any celebs had uh... situations like this develop in their families? >.>

[varioussaints]

Just because she's staying in contact doesn't necessarily mean he should be expected to stay in contact with hers. A clean break may well be better for everyone involved, especially if he's going to be miserable about it. That being said, it doesn't sound like he's even attempted to meet with and give her kids some sort of closure, which is disgraceful. He was their step-dad for 2+ years and yet "has not seen her kids in a long time" (so probably since before their divorce)... why even marry someone with kids if you can't be bothered to give them the time of day

I hit 40 last month. I moved out during college and never moved back in but my parents have always been extremely vocal that their home would always be open for me (no matter what age) if somehow I ever needed to move back in due to life circumstances.

It irritates me seeing parents acting as if all their commitments end when the kid is adult. Sure, encourage them to build a life of their own to where they don’t need to be “taken care” of or always rely on the parents - but I can’t imagine completely shutting your doors off to them if they needed you and you had the means to help.

[varioussaints]

My parents have said the same. I can’t imagine not doing the same for any child I had. I get that things used to be different for a lot of families (hit 18, out the door you go!) but it’s a different time. Covid turned an already dire situation in many communities (for work and housing) fully on its head and now I’m mostly just impressed that he’s been staying afloat for so long on his own.

[archersangel]

Maybe she thinks if he moves back in he won't move out again?
