I'm not ready to be a stepmom

If I marry, I get a 16-year-old who can barely take care of herself.

    Cary Comes Through

    For what its' worth, I think Cary has been very consistant over the years with this sort of letter. I can't imagine that the BF really wants to settle down with someone who thinks that accessories and gadgets (and tender! loving! care or whatever) are what make a house a home.

    I can only hope that English is not the LW's first language. But I do wish the 16 year old would write in.

    How long until Joan chimes in about what a wonderful person the LW is, and how mean all the commenters are?
