[quote=Anonymous][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] My best friends father left her mother when she was 2 years old. Her step-father raised her since that point in time - he is the only father she's ever known. She calls him "dad" and he has been there for every sprained ankle, every soccer game, every nightmare. He gave her away at her wedding - and was there when her daughter was born. He is a father in EVERY WAY. When he passed away 2 years ago - she was heartbroken. The fact that you feel the need to put a label on love, shows me that you have something broken inside of you. If you tried to tell my friend that her father wasn't her real father - she wouldn't even be mad at you - she would laugh at you. You don't even known the meaning of the word parent - obviously.[/quote]
