Hey, my kids’ step is way more of a parent than their dad, and I appreciate it. And she does it all while married to him. I’m just not allowed to thank her.
Good steps often replace the lousy parenting of their spouse, not of the same-gender bio parent.
I’m sure that’s true in plenty of families, but sadly not ours. My stepkids’ dad is a entitled and materialistic, and he’s married someone just like him. They even try and “teach” the kids that you don’t have to thank wait staff at restaurants, because they’re paid to do the job.
It’s funny - my wife and I were each originally married to the same type of selfish arsehole, then found each other after our respective marriages broke up. Our exes, however, didn’t wait that long. Kinda says everything…
