[quote=Anonymous][quote]I’m seconding that 50% time doesn’t equal 50% responsibility. Especially if much of that 50% is weekends, holidays, and summers. The state of MD didn’t care that my ex had fewer than 90 school days, just how many overnights. HW, permission slips, packed lunches, uniforms, projects, and other school related responsibilities mostly fell to me and my DH (DD’s stepdad). By third grade, it was easy to see a pattern of tardies s and missed hw when XH had her. In 7th grade, she’s more self-reliant, but still tardies coming from dad’s. [/quote]

I'm sorry your XH sucks but not all step-dads are like that. I'm not.

Our weekends, holidays, and summers are evenly split, as are school days.

HW, permission slips, packed lunches, uniforms, projects, and other school related responsibilities -- I did that before the divorce, I do it now. I want my kids to succeed at school, and they know they can come to me for help.

All the tardies my kids have gotten have been from XW.

So yeah, OP, if you want to be a step-mom, make sure you don't marry someone irresponsible and incompetent. But that would be good advice even if he didn't have kids.[/quote]
