[quote=Anonymous]OP, not really sure what the purpose of your post was. It's natural that the vast majority of bio parents have a stronger relationship with their kids than a stepparent will. Sure, as evidenced by some PPs, it is possible for someone to love stepkids as strongly as a natural parent would. But there are many other factors at play which can impact that. One of the most critical is how the bio mother views the stepmother (in particular) and how she communicates that to the kids. And how old the kids are. If bio mom can honestly encourage her young kids to have a good relationship with stepmom and that it won't hurt mom's feelings, that's a good start. With older kids it gets a lot tricker because they will have stronger natural loyalty binds. [/quote]
