[quote=Anonymous]Op, yes, some step parents can and will, but I’m not sure that is the appropriate standard to hold step parents to. It’s ok for step parents to be more of an aunt or uncle type rather than a full on parent. Most things written by psychologists about step parenting these days actually recommends, especially to women, that the step parents step back and have most of work done by the actual parents. What is a particularly bad dynamic is when a man gets remarried, is a slacker parent, and clumps most of the his share of the parenting onto the step mom. This creates resent all around. It’s best for the actual bio parents to step up and do most of the nitty gritty work involved in parenting.[/quote]
