Step parents?
So considering divorce being so common.
How many of you out there have step parents? Do you like them? Do hate them? Do you consider your step parent more your parent that the one who gave you half your genetics? Me personally I have a Step-dad... who soon won't be. (My mom is getting a divorce.) He's been really rude to me lately because of that, and at this point I really don't care if I never speak to him again. Which is sad that someone who has been in my life since I was 5 years old has been such an idiot that I don't want them in my life. *sigh* |
I don't have any, seeing as my parents are still together, but it's under odd circumstances.
The man who could potentially be my step farther, is actually very nice, although i never used to like admiting it. He's much better suited to my mom than my own dad is. |
i do i cant stand my step dad is a fart face (( wanted to say some thing elce but im keeping it pg-13)) :angry:
|
I haven't had a stepdad until I was 17. My mother's divorced from him now but we still hang out like everything's cool We still love each other like family ^_^
|
Unfortunately, I have a step dad who I want to kill. He's a liar and all he cares about is money. He's such a bumjoint (Maryland slang) He never has money when you ask for it but then he's always the first one with his hand out askin you for money.

I have a stepfather. My parents got divorced when I was really young.. three or four, and my mother remarried 12-odd years ago so I pretty much grew up with two dads, I guess I'm used to it.
He's alright. A bit on the grumpy side but I have a lot of respect for him, and I think he's all and all a cool guy in a Tommy-Lee-Jones kind of way. He never really had much say in raising me though. He'd tell me to do more chores every so often and was really sweet to me on graduation day, but other than that we hardly ever talked. The thing I don't like, I guess, is the seven step-siblings that came with the package. @[email protected] And the hatred that THEIR mother has for mine. That's created all kinds of... drama. Let's call it drama. Haha |
I'm surprised that I do not have a step mother or anything. There's little to no love in the house, and my biological mom tends to make living hell for everyone else in the family.
Dad talks of getting a divorce, but nothing ever seems to be done. In his defense he says that Mom would likely rot away if she were left on her own. Which I would agree with. <_< |
My parents are getting a divorce but I don't know if I am getting a step dad or mother anytime soon.
|
I don't have any step parents. My parents have been together since they've been married.
But I think it would be a little hard if that was my situation seeing my cousin. (His parents are divorced). Sadly, divorces happen a lot now-a-days. |
I dont, and even though I've heard good things about them (yes, better then bio parents) I'm glad I dont have to deal with them...two is enough XD

Step parents can be a big pain.
I had a step-dad, but my mom divorced him too because he was a controlling jerk. And my step-mom is evil and hypocritical. Yea, step parents are okay sometimes, but I think I got the bad ones :P |
It's good that adults can find a new love and get remarried if the first marriage didn't work out so well.
But my parents are still together, and I don't think they'll be breaking up anytime soon. Sometimes they get on each others nerves, but they like, never ever fight. And they've been together for almost twenty years (although they've only been married for like, five. But whatever. They were basically married all that time.) |
My parents are together,
but i can't handle their constant mood swings with the family and eachother. They act like 3 year olds when they fight, just really hard to watch and simply stupid. god get a divorce or something D: |
Han doesn't have step parents, though I know many people who o. It makes me a little uncomfortable addressing the situation, which is weird, since I know they're totally used to it. I have a step-grandmother though. She's pretty freakin awesome. And I suppose I understand in a way the normalcy of it because people look at ME strange when I say I have three grandmothers (was four! My great-gramma was around til I was about 13).
Though the people around me gettin' all divorced n stuff DOES make me nervous/uncomfortable. I don't want that to be my own future I suppose is what the problem is D: |
I've never met my step mother, who is now pregnant with my half-sister... and I've never spoken to her. But, from what I hear, she's not very.... um... yeah, she's sorta evil. x_x
|
I have a step-father who is technically not my step-father. He and my mom aren't legally married. They've been together for thirteen years though so they're common law. The only time I refer to him as my step-dad is when others ask of my relation to him. Aside from that, no aspect of the title reflects our actual relationship. He doesn't treat me like his son. I don't treat him like my dad. And this works fine for us. We get along well and I see no need to change things.

My parents split when I was still fairly young. Now I have a step mother and a half sister. I have a really hard time with the both of them... Everyone in my dad's new family acts like we're this real family and that it doesn't really matter but to me it does... I don't really feel like they are my real family and I honestly don't really like them very much though I feel like a terrible person saying it... I think it's harder for me since my parents didn't really decide to go their separate ways because they weren't getting along or whatever... My dad was having an affair with my step mom...
My boyfriend's parents are split as well. I don't think he really has as much of a dislike for his other family as I do but I don't think he really likes them either... He just has a sort of apathetic attitude towards the whole thing. His parents agreed to separate though... And they did it while he was older. I think a lot of it is just really hard for me to understand. When parents get divorced they make up all sorts of different rules about it that make things hard. My parents made this rule that neither of them could talk to me about how it happened or whatever so that makes it difficult for me to really know what happened. |
My parents are together and i have no step parents.
I'm grateful for that to be honest. I hear good and bad things about having step parents but I wouldn't want it to happen anyways. My parents do argue. It's normaly in a married relationship but no so that they're like 'OK its over..." and thats the end of the story. They argue, make up, and go on. ^_^" Of course some divorces are for good reason (not just couples that give up too easily). Somtiems the other one is aggresive and abusive or even controlling. Those people should get divorced and not put up with such things. Some people cheat too...thats horrible. |
Yeh.
I have a step-dad and my dad is still trying to look for a girlfriend. My dad gets a new one every few months or so. He can never stick with one. Oh, one is too clean and won't live with six dogs, one is too dirty and won't clean up AFTER the six dogs.. One's parents don't like him.. And the last one he dumped because she wanted kids and he's too old for that. Which I understand, but it would be nice to have a brother or sister on that side of the family I guess... Haha Well, as for my step-dad.. We didn't really used to get along when we first moved in with him. It was mostly my fault, I would just ignore him and stuff and he would treat me different because I'm the only one of the kids in the family that isn't his, so yeah. Anyways, my mom told him that I wanted to make things work out better, so now we're both sitting down and talking, we're laughing about stuff and whatnot. It is good now, after 11 years of living with him, it's finally getting better. We just both needed to put some effort into accepting each other as family. |
I suppose I have a step dad. It feels odd to think of him like that though. My father passed on when I was 9 and my mother remarried last year (I'm 30 now). I've only met him a few times though as we live a couple thousand miles away from each other. He's really nice though and I'm happy that they found each other.
My current husband is my son's stepfather (and that seems strange to say too). He's the only father Jacob has known and you would never know they weren't blood. Heck, they even look alike! Rob has always been the one who has been there for Jacob. He taught him to ride his bike, changed his diapers, showed him how boy's pee, and stayed up with him when he was sick. To me, that's what a father is. Sperm donation do not a daddy make. |
My parents have been together 20 years, no step parents here. If I did get step parents, it wouldn't affect me much. First, my parent's marriage would have to decay, then there would be the whole divorce thing, then they'd need to fall in love again, and then re-marry. By the time all that was done I'd be at uni or finished with it.

I don't have any step parents...so I guess I don't have to worry about that. A lot of my friends have them though.
|
I have a step-mother and hardly think of her since I've never even seen her. D; Obviously, I wouldn't like her as much as my original mother.
Come to think of it, if you mention step-parents, I usually forget about her. xD |
I have a step dad, but my mom was never married anyways. I've never met my real dad. My step is my first actual father. It kind of gives you the idea that you weren't planned...

My mom wasn't married to my real dad eigther, and she left him when I was a baby. (He was cheating on her with the mother of my two little half brothers, who i miss terribly and never get to see. D: ) My step dad has been in my life so long, I can't help but place him in a 'father' catagory, but sadly his inability to earn my respect makes it imposible for me to give a damn. My only 'daddy' or father figure who I truely and completely value was my grandfather/Papa. Sadly he died in 2003. But my mom was always both roles, my sted-dad 'plays' dad, but mom ALWAYS was the authority in MY life. Early in the marriage he attempted to be my boss, but mom quickly informed him he had no right. I've never felt unwanted or sore for not being 'planned' or born of wedded bliss. To me the situation of my birth is almost amusing. And makes me respect my mother so much. Besides, my great grandparents didn't mind because my real dad was a part of my life for the first 6 years. He signed my birth certificate, so I wasn't a bastard. He only left my life because he didn't want to intrude on my new stepdad. D: Ah well, its for the best. My real dad has lots of issues, and my mom raised me knowing he loved me. So I've never resented him. If he had been in my life, it might have been different. *shrug* My only regret is not being around, and there for my little brothers. But I think having a crappy step parent has made me a stronger person. Though I may be less trusting and more critical of myself and others because of emotional abuse. And I have high standards of not tolerating guys who will treat me with disrespect. >>;; |
