I think some people are just not cut out to be step parents
Sometimes I read posts in this group and can’t help but think some people are just not cut out to be step parents. My husbands kids describe their own mother as a step monster based on how she treats their step sister. It makes me so sad how some people treat their step kids. I was a step child and had a wonderful step dad and I wish every kid had that experience. It’s so unfortunate some people don’t look at their step kids as their kids and treat their own bio kids differently.

@Danielle I agree with you 💯 percent ,took the words right outta my mouth.
I think it’s hard to make that complete conclusion because every blended family is different. What if you have a step kid who takes after their controlling mother who speaks terribly of their father and gets treated as such? It’s kind of hard to love kids that you have no influence or say over what happens in their life and treat your husband terribly 🤷♀️ other people have to deal with their step kids treating them terribly because mom talks crap about her to them. I see some moms here really struggle because of factors like this and it’s not always an option to just leave for them. Some try really hard to no avail. I think it’s important to stay open and sympathetic if we can because we don’t know everything that goes on and posts are just a small window into their lives.
