When you’re in a relationship with someone who has children, by definition that implies that you’ve agreed to help parent those kids. Let me just say that again: you’ve agreed to help parent. Which implies that your partner should already be parenting their kids.
Stepparents: you can't parent your stepkids unless your partner is willing to actively support you in a parenting role. Nor can you parent your stepkids more than your partner is willing to do themselves. Not if you want to stay sane, that is.⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re pulling your hair out over a partner who isn’t parenting and your house feels way too close to Lord of the Flies for your personal comfort level, please please please go read this: ➡️ THE DISENGAGING ESSAY 👀
Because there’s a HUGE DIFFERENCE between helping parent someone else's kids vs taking all the parenting responsibilities upon yourself while your partner continues not parenting. Cross that line and you'll find yourself in burnout territory mighty quick. xo⠀⠀⠀
