[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The poster on this thread who thinks that a step-parent should not be posting on a parenting website is nutty. Step-parenting is a form of parenting. I have both a mother and a step-mother and I think of them both as parental figures. I have a different relationship with each of them, but that is largely because they have very different personalities. There are some things that I go to my step-mother for advice about rather than my mother because in those areas she has more experience or a better track record of giving advice. I am closer to my mother, but I would never diminish the role that my step-mother played in my life. Love is not a limited commodity and a child can love more than two parental figures. It doesn't always happen with step-parents, but it is small-minded to think that it never does. [/quote] Nobody here said that step-parents should not be posting. What has been said is that step-parents are not parents. They can be "parental figures", sure, just like teachers, priests, uncles etc can be. That doesn't make them parents, sorry.[/quote] Wow so let me guess pp...with your ass backwards logic adoptive parents are also not "real" parents too huh? You are a complete ass![/quote] Better being an ass than a dummy like you are. Nothing I said implied that adoptive parents are in the same boat as step-parents. Can't you losers see the difference? Adopted children have their adoptive parents listed as their parents. This is who their parents are. They have no other parents. Step-children in fact have "other" i.e. their only parents. Those could be adoptive or not, that's a totally separate issue. Nicole Kidman is a mother of children she adopted with Tom Cruise. Katie Holmes isn't. Or are you saying she is their mother, too?[/quote]
