Bit of background info - I’m 34 with two stepsons aged 7 and 8 , I wouldn’t say being a stepmum is easy but I am luckily in the situation I am in and most of the time I genuinely enjoy it. I don’t however plan on having my own children and people seem to find this strange and can be quite opinionated about it! Especially now I’m in my 30s. I have never really wanted my own children and I think mums are amazing how they do it all. You would think in 2020 people would be more open minded about people being childfree or stepparents actually enjoying being a stepparent?! Surely it’s ok to not want children?!

And some good points raised - it definitely doesn’t seem to be raised half as much for stepdads.
