[quote=Anonymous]I feel that in this situation, where bio-dad checks out (like a deadbeat asshole, fwiw), and step-dad steps in, acts like a father, providing for the kids financially and presumably playing other parental roles in their lives, at that point he is the same obligations any parent has. He doesn't get to act like a parent except this one thing. If it was a situation where he doesn't think parents should be obligated to pay for college at all, that's one thing but it sounds to me like he just feels this is someone else's responsibility. When you choose to become a parent, you don't get to choose to skip some parts. It doesn't work that way. This is a man who chose to marry a woman who already had children. He doesn't get to choose to bail on this part because you think it's someone else's problem. [/quote]
