I don't agree, I think it's great for the children. They'll never have to worry about their parents/step parents having blazing rows, or fights over custody, or who gets to go to the school play, or who they go on holiday with, or who they spend Christmas with. Bruce and Demi are grown up enough to put their differences aside and do what's best for the children. I admire that.

As for the marriage, I think it's great too. They've been dating for ages, everyone has had a chance to get used to them as a couple, it's not some flash in the pan wedding like Brad/Angelina or Tom/Katie who were nothing one day then madly in love the next. Ashton has shown he's mature enough to wait for the right time to marry, and mature enough to cope with someone else's children and ex hubby being around - I know many men twice his age who couldn't handle that!

Hope it lasts

I saw Ashton on a talk show one day (think it was Ellen) and he's very mature and well-rounded for a young man. He had manners, spoke eloquently and appeared to be very respectful. Before then I had only seen him on Punked and thought he was an idiot, but revised my opinion after the Ellen show.

I say GO FOR IT Demi and Ashton!

It's nice to know though that Demi is attractive enough to get a younger man whereas most of the older men need money to attract younger women!

I can't wrap my brain around this whole thing. Maturity-wise, Demi is definitely old enough to be his grandmother, because he acts like a kid.

I don't really give a fig as to which celebrity marries whom.

But, I do disagree with your last statement. It may be far from the "average" situation where parents don't even speak to one another or speak through their children but this doesn't mean its best for the children...
My ex and I have a similiar relationship. We are friends and even socialize without our daughter present. We rely on each other in times of need and get together with our friends and our friends kids for an activity every weekend. We live 3 blocks from each other so our daughter can remain in the same area and take the same bus to school and play with the same friends...We put aside our personal differences and petty issues and decided to put forth a relationship that is best for our daughter.

It works out best for us and I think, while it may be unusual, its great for our daughters well-being. Its much better than the usual alternative (like I endured) of fighting and bickering in front of the kids or using them as pawns which is so much more prevalent...

But he's ALWAYS there. No matter how well you get along with your ex, do you want them there every time you go out with the kids? I know lots of people who are divorced with kids, and even the ones who get along really well don't want the ex there all the time. They're an "ex" and they split up for a reason. I agree that it's better for the kids than the fighting and argueing all the time, but eventually I'd be having to tell him "Look, it's great that we get along and it's good for the kids, but you really need to get a life...that doesn't involve being around ME all the time!"

We see these people in tabloids. Not their real lives. I am certain that they spend quite a fair bit of time on their own. Its only when they are out in public at an event that they get hounded by paparazzi, remember. This isn't their "real life" that we are privy to.

I think it's admirable that you put your differences aside and do what's best for your daughter. That's how parenting should be, IMO. Just because the going gets rough between the two adults, those differences should try to be resolved between them, rather than selfishly inflicting pain on the child inevitably caught in the middle. Good work. I wish there were more parents out there just as unselfish.
