Poll: Step-parents = deuche?

[aeon_mistress]

Mom remarried, Stepfather and stepsister are brilliant. Stepfather will always have a small chat with my father whenever they're around each other. Stepsister will refer to me and my brother as Auntie and Uncle and my mother as nanny to her daughter.
So yeah, I'm lucky to have a great father and stepfather

My dad's second wife was an absolute *****. Her kids were cool though. My dad's third wife is awesome. Her kids are awesome too. My mom didn't re-marry.

Apart from anything else, its douche, not deuche. Now, to get on topic, think of it from your step-parents point of view. Hes got to try and be a father to a kid thats already grown up, thats no easy task. Before you criticize your step-parents think of the position they're in, its not an easy one.

quite, but i dont think that such complecations quite justify repeated use of force and violence when dealing with children, or using a rolling pin to settle an arguement with my sister? of course he's nowhere near as brave now that im the same height as him, but if it's small kids he's """""parenting""""" then he's all mr firm but fair!

i dont mean to be rude, but please dont question my judgment on someone you've never had the displeasure of meating in person

Apart from anything else your post makes it pretty clear that you are referring to all stepparents, not just your step-dad. And if none in your family thought to call the police if half of what your saying is true, well then I'm speechless.

My parents stayed together until the end. In-laws, however... The mother-in-law can be pretty annoying and irresponsible. The father-in-law is pretty cool though.

 

[WolfThomas]

My step parents on both sides are both really nice. I'm twenty-one and don't live at home for most of the year though, so I don't get a lot of exposure to them.

To put it simply: Your step parent isn't marrying you, they're marrying your parent. You're just extra baggage in their eyes.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Its called a stereotype and due to a large amount of movies featuring step-parents as one of the main conflicts, its being widely accepted as an untrue fact. Are there bad step-parents? Yes. Are all Step-parents bad? No.

After moving in together with my mum my step dad became an asshole. He was violent and would beat me up, threaten me with violence and mentally abuse me all with the blessing of my dear old mum God kill her. Let's not forget that I was apparently the reason for the break up because I "wasn't obedient enough". Hey, at least after going through a lot of shit I've managed to avoid contact with those psychotic crazed persons and managed to keep a healthy relationship with my dad. He pulled me out of a lot of shit back in the day and for the entirety of my childhood and adolescence he was the pillar I hung unto. If it wasn't for him I don't think I'd be here today.


Still, I don't consider all step parents bad. That's an impossible assumption to make. Not all step parents are "douches" just like not all parents are douches.

Hooray for German Step-Parents.

 

[aether-x3]

My Step Dad and Step Mum to be are both pretty cool. In fact I can talk to my step dad more easily than I can my dad, but I do not see him as a replacement father and my step mum to be is really nice, I'm actually going to be a bridesmaid at her and my dads wedding.

So Step-Parents aren't that bad. Now My mums first boyfriend after she left my dad, He was a douche, thankfully he isn't my step dad.

 

[Mcupobob]

My parents weren't really ever married to each other. Just common law hillbilly bullshit. Any who, Step-dad is alright guy sometimes a lazy asshole but if you point it out he'll try and make a change. Step-mom lost her kids right off the back, mooched off my dad's parents and is absolute bi-poler and insane. Perfect for my dad, because he deserver to have that baggage with him for the rest of his miserable life. I feel bad that my half-brother gets caught in between it but what can do?

 

[MikailCaboose]

Well, my parents were never married, and I never met my father so I guess I can't really answer this can I?

 

[zen5887]

My step mother is a *****, but thankfully I only have to see her once a year.

My step dad on the other hand is totally awesome.

 

[Blackmagic1515]

My parents are still together so I can't really contribute much. My best friend's step-mum though, she's pretty cool.

yes, well, that would have been an excellent idea at the time but i was young and scared so i couldnt really do much, and the last thing i want is to sound rude, but while im re-counting my shattered childhood, and youve got nothing nice to say, id thank you not to say anything at all

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

My parents have been married for almost 30 years and still going strong.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Well of course not all step-parents are German. Oh! You meant duche not deutsch...

Well in that case yes all step-parents are assholes. Because everyone knows that as soon as someone becomes a step-parent their personality is inexplicably changed from a normal person into a total jerkwad.

You asked about step-parents in general, not necessarily yours. In not saying all step-parents are good, but they certainly aren't all bad.

 

[Nerdygamer89]

That stereotype is especially prevalent for step-fathers. My stepdad, however, was/is a good guy who's really looked out for me over the years. Goes to show ya that while stereotypes are often grounded in reality to some extent, they're not always true.
