Some of us on my "CNBC" board are having difficulty understanding this...

Why is it that our DH's kids do not visit us as much as the birth mother. A couple of us feel we "get the crumbs". Is "Dad" not so important? Are we, the stepmothers to blame?

Also, we've discovered that the kids were "in town" or going to be "in town" and NOT visit us!

If you had/have a stepmother, can you shed any light as to why this happens?

Not sure why we feel the way we do. Maybe it's because we see our spouses hurt over this. Or maybe that, since we could not have our own kids and married someone who does, only to be disappointed in them!
