My husband and I have custody of the kids... I love them and view them as my own... no probs there. The kids love and adore me (yeah quite sickening because our family dynamic is amazing) It is frustrating for the kids as well as myself when dealing with schools, doctors, anyone... I couldn't even get my step daughters ears pierced... because I didn't give birth... I have been in their world since 99 and had the step mother title officially in 2001. and it is ridiculous that my kids(step) have to stand up for me because they are just as tired of having to explain that I am as much involved in decisions as their father or mother. Dang Brothers Grimm and their stinking fairy tales... not all step mothers are bad... I just feel that step parents should have rights. I know it can be complicated ( I came from a split home) but my step mother never had the complicatons I am having... My kids and husband arent the problem it seems to be everyone else. Should step parents have more rights
