How rare are Step Dads here?

How rare are Step Dads here? They seem to be almost as common as the albino rhino. I appreciate the female perspective but wish there was more representation from the men. Way too many of those wacked out BMs you all love so much out there remarried some poor slob who could use this place. Smile

Yes, please start blogging. It will be refreshing to hear about a psycho BF instead of BM from time to time.... oh and welcome too by the way!!!

and perhaps they'll jump on board once you and
others start blogging. (I work with a guy who
"lurks" on here; he'll be jumping on soon, I'm sure.)

loves keeping up with me one what's going on with this site, and we would both like to hear from the male perspective, as my DH is also a step dad, and we have alot of new issues w/ that (will post more on that later) So welcome, and jump right in."~waiting on the world to change~"

when we get on our "men are stupid" rants

we simply mean "men who BEHAVE stupidly are stupid"

in some of these cases with guilt-parenting and lack of boundaries for their children, I'm sure you could probably insert your wife right into the same mix (unfortunately).

So please try not to take those generalizations to heart, ok? Wink

I grew up with my mom and 3 sisters. I've been hearing very similar things my whole life.

I'll concede 'men are stupid' to get 'women are crazy'....

bellacita's picture

the men who blog here arent stupid, and the women here arent crazy...sound fair? Wink

I've been a step father for 7 years with a wife who guilt parented and gave her son everything you step moms talk about your husbands giving their precious daughters. Same frustrations, but a woman doing it to me.

I tried to disengage, but its not in me to see a teenager fail at school, be 100 lbs overweight, think he is the best at everything and not try to help.

Want a male's perspective? its the same as all of yours but on the opposite foot.

opposite direction. My wife an I usually find that when we fight we both feel the same basic things but miss the fact that we are saying the same thing because we are coming at the same point from opposite directions.

As for more StepDad bloggers. We could stand a little more testosterone in this community. This is definitely an estrogen rich environment. Blum 3

I am new here, I just found this site tonight! Lots of SM posts, very few SD? I am a SD of 3 SS. and a BD of 2, one BS, one BD w/grandson.

I just found this site and this might just be the place for me to vent! (Was just recently arrested and acquitted for physical fight with oldest SS who was visiting. :O )

There aren't many men here, because who ever heard of an "evil stepfather?" Women get the blame for everything. }:)
