Stepparent Discipline Roles in New Marriages
A reader asks about the proper discipline role for a stepparent in a new marriage with a mother who has primary custody of two young boys. The response argues stepparents should have full disciplinary discretion, notes that labeling someone as a step rather than a parent creates conflict, and cites that kids often resent being disciplined by stepparents. It emphasizes viewing stepfamily as a full family unit rather than a separate role. Reference to John Rosemond’s site is included.
