[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They can but it also depends on the role and involvement of the bio parent. I am a stepmother and I am mindful that they have a loving and involved mother and it is not me. I would not want my kids' stepmom to play the same mom role that I do. Every situation is different.[/quote] This is my experience as well. I would liken my relationship with my stepchild to one that I have with a niece or nephew; I love them, I care about their well being and I am invested in their future, but they have two loving, involved parents, so I am more like a loving, supportive aunt than a mother.[/quote]
