My Role as a Stepmother Defined | Step Talk

Both research scholars and clinical experts agree that the stepparent role is more difficult and less clearly defined than the parent role.

However, I have no legal rights, obligations, or duties, financial or otherwise, towards DH's children. Any rights, obligations, and duties I take on are derived solely from DH in sharing his rights, duties, and obligations, and are agreed upon solely between DH and I. Our collective values of home and family are in keeping with entitling the children to be properly cared for and nurtured in an environment free from neglect, endangerment, or abuse.

With that said:
~I am available/able to assist DH with their children during HIS parenting time.

~I have limited availability/ability to assist TM and their children during HER parenting time:
1. for an acute medical emergency.
2. during my non-work hours for transportation issues arising from vehicular failure or breakdown.
3. to provide COMPLETE respite care for a mutually agreed-upon period of 24-hours or more during exercised ROFR.
