[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you angry at your stepdad rather than your biological mom and dad? They are the ones who should be taking care of you. It’s not your stepdad’s obligation to financially provide for four adult children of a dead at dad and mom who doesn’t appear to be working.

I’m sorry you don’t have better parents. Get on Medicaid or another health care insurance program before dec 15. Look at healthcare.gov[/quote]

I sure hope you aren't a step parent! Anyone with this attitude should never become a step parent.[/quote]

This poster's "attitude" is spot on, IMO.  Too many stepparents spend an entire lifetime trying to be a good parent to kids who aren't their own and are vilified for it.  Do too much?  You are overstepping your bounds, trying to buy kids' affection, interfering with bio parents, etc.   Do too little?  You are uncaring and selfish, should open up your finances FOREVER to support kids (even as adults) without question, etc.

Often, a stepparent's only reward is ingratitude or indifference from the children they helped raise.  Unless you've spent a lifetime trying to walk the landmine-ridden path of stepparenthood, then don't comment. [/quote]
