"What about the CP Moms who remarry and have the SF do 'Daddy" things with the kids? Not much different, IMO. I feel that as long as the SP is not trying to replace the BP nor are the CP and SF trying to push the BP from the child's live than there is not that big of a problem."

Generically, I agree with this 100%!! In fact, that was the opinion of both my ex and I when we split with my son.

I wonder if people would just stop expecting Stepmom's(and Step dad's) to be "Mom"(and "Dad", respectively) because the step child's parent is a lousy one, or has passed away etc...maybe some of these issues could be put to rest.

My dad died early in my life. *I* (at 6 yrs old) understood my Dad was gone. My stepdad was NOT him and I didn't expect nor want him to be. His role in my life was different than my Dad's...period.

Too many step parents WANT to have the role of parent to a step child regardless of the bio parents situation. How about we all just stop that and be what we are...step parents.

Again, I am sure it won't work in every situation, but it sure hellped me keep things inperspective when I was a kid. Do things with your own kids, step daddy, because that's what they are. I will do things with my Mom that your kids won't do, because that's the way it is. I never felt slighted or belittled or worthless...cause that was their parent and mine was mine. As for house rules...they were consistant.

Never consider the possibility of failure; as long as you persist, you will be successful.
