Step parents should not discipline the kids this will only build resentment between them and even create more anger that the child feels about the step parent. It takes time to build a relationship between step parents and step children and over time the step parent may then begin to discipline the chidren.

yes a step parent should be able to disipline the kids they are taken a roll as a parent in the household they are in. And if a step parent does not take that roll then the kids will walk all over them and the relationship will not last.

Parents should work as a team together to discipline any children whether they are step or not. Both should be responsible otherwise the kid ends up getting away with a lot and that is not good for the child.

If a step parent really loves the child and shows love and affection toward that child, like they would their own children, then they can discipline them. If they don't take the time to know the children, and love them , share the problems with them, then no they shouldn't.

Step-parents should not discipline their step children, unless the child considers them as a real parent. In most cases, this is unlikely. It's not the step parents job, any discipline should be taken to the biological parent...because the child is theirs.

Yes, step parents should decipline their step kids.. Both the step parents and the step kids need to know that the step parents are their parents NOT their friends.. I tell my husband that all the time. He comes to me when the kids do something wrong and I always tell him, that your their step dad, if you dont dicepline them then they will walk all over you. I tell him to stop being their friend and be their parent..

yes. when they got married they became the second mother/father and i feel they have the rite to discipline the kids. by not allowing the step parent to do so it is basically giving the kids the rite to walk all over them.

discipline is extra desirable than in simple terms punishment. Step parents have the comparable criminal duty as due organic parents to develop efficient, respectful, thriving adults. via putting policies and analyzing progression and loving as any parent would desire to, discipline would be instilled. never never provide up

I think it depends.
Usually the child's biological parent really does need to take action and discipline or take care of his or her own child, and not dump the responsibility on to their partner.

if you live with a parent and stepparent and something does happen i think the step parent should be able to say something about it and help come up with the punishment but i don't think they should fully punish the kid on their own.
