There is decent advice on here usually mixed in with the whole MNs stepparent bingo that goes on.
You have advice from step parents, you often have a lot of advice from the other side too (mums, adults who have been step children) all with their own view point.
It's a tricky and hard board esp for newbies who have no idea on the lingo that's allowed and not allowed and often get fried for it. People don't often read properly or project their own issues on to posts. They come for support and often get a lot of hate but there are decent people who comment on this board.
Step parenting is a emotive subject, far to many people condemn SP for things they have thought as actual parents . A few times I have had to point out that a OP was in a bad mental state and that the comments where getting to a really harmful level and that there's a human on the end of a post and we won't know how that will effect the OP. I have seen this happen to a SM and also a mum who posted for advice on here.
Being a parent on any level is bloody hard but made 100% by a Disney dad and none of the power/control a mum has that a SP doesn't . However this board is better that AIBU board which is nicknamed "first wives board" for a reason.
I have yet to met a MN perfect parent in the wild before that spout of the stuff that's uttered on here, I think in real life people would struggle to be that unkind to someone's face. Although that maybe naive of me.
I would say behind every post about a SP being frazzled by SC is a Disney dad/mum making SPs life just hellish.
However there have been SP on here who have been totally unreasonable (aka the women who had three rooms and wouldn't give up her walk in closet/study and nursery, to allow her SC to have a bed, insisting she sleep on sofa or blow up mattress). That was a lovely post because all mums, step mums and daughters all came together to say that wasn't ok.
