  1. I found it interesting that most people did not feel obligated to their step and half siblings.

  5. Well i can see how they wouldnt have to like their step kids but they are becoming their legal kids so they have to take responsibility for them.

  6. Step-parents are probably always going to love their biological children more, but that doesnt mean that they shouldnt want to take care of their step kids

  7. For some people blood is thicker that water. That seems to be the case when there is money involved.

  8. I feel that you dont even have to be related to someone to have to be obligated for them. It's just the kind thing to do.

    1. I agree completely. Sometimes you get to be very close with someone that you're not blood related with and it seems like they can be closer than blood relations at times.

  10. i agree they dont nessarly have to like their step kids, because some kids dont like their step parents. but if you love your new wife/ husband you should just put up with and take care of their kid. who knows they might end up getting along.

  11. I as a part of a step family feel adding more to the family is better. There are certain things in life that happen that you have no control over, life choosing who your step parent or who your step brother or sister might be. so just live with it.

  12. It is interesting how at the age of 65+ there is only 2% of them having a step parent. Maybe it has something to do with our society now? Or maybe not

  14. Step parents should feel obligated to take care of their step kids. It's the right thing to do and it should come natural? There is something wrong if the step parent doesn't feel that way.
