Do you love your step-children?

Question

Do you care for them?

Answer 1

WELL I DON'T HAVE STEP CHILDREN BUT I THINK I WILL LOVE THEM AND CARE FOR THEM JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE CHILDREN OF MY PARTNER THAT I LOVE

Answer 2

i dont have any but i f i ever do , i would gladly treat them and love them as my own just as i would want my hubby to do with my kids :)

Answer 3

I love my "Bonus Boys" more than I expected I would. Their mother is dead, and they have lived with us full-time for the past 5 yrs. For the last 3 yrs of their mom's life, she never called or spoke to them at all. I think that some of the reservations some women have towards step-kids are that we are NOT their mothers, and we know these kids don't love us the same as their mothers. As for my situations, I can love them whole-heartedly with no reservations about whether mom will sabatoge our relationship or if she will allow them to have a relationship with me...... so, I guess long answer short is Yes, we love them but there are reasons that some are more reserved.

Answer 4

Yes.  And, Yes.

She is my husband's daughter.  He feels the same parental responsibility & love for her as he does for our other children.  He & I are joined together on this parenting journey - I am his partner in everything, including parenting all of his children.  Just seeing her through his parenting heart helps me to love her.  But, over the years, she & I have developed our own relationship that now stands on it's own & continues to grow.

Answer 5

Absolutely. When I married  their dad, they became mine.  I won't lie and say it was easy. it took a coule of years to work the kinks out. It was like I had an exwife and that wasn't fun.

I got two more kids with no labor, the best way. i also got six grandkids that i would not have. Let me tell you, I love those grandbabies as much as if i carried them myself.

Answer 6

I don't have children and I'm single, but I know for a fact that my stepfather loved me. He always had advice for me and took great pains to make sure I made the right decisions. He also put me through college and bought me a car. I was a b******e at times, as well, but he didn't take it personally. All these years later I realize how lucky I was.

Answer 7

Absolutely.  And I love my step granddaughter ...doesn't feel like step to me.  Daughter refers to me lovingly as "My wicked stepmother"

Family is a heart connection.
