I never hated my step-dad. And why does a "real" parent have to do it? What if they had work? Sending a step-parent is the same as asking a grandparent or aunt or uncle or some other relative to do it. Things come up, sometimes the parent can't be there. My step-dad always picked me up from school every day when I was little. Fortunately for him, I wasn't as much of a little prick as this kid.

My step dad picked me up from the airport when I was kid. Mom had to work, and my my step dad was much more of a "real" parent than my father was to me or the other son he gave up for adoption.

I happen to hate my step and real dad they are both drunks

That, my friend, is a reasonable reason to dislike any relative.

I think it depends on the context. If a step-parent is around and builds a relationship with a step-child they will become good friends. If I had a step-parent at some point who tried to act like a real parent, i.e. telling me what to do, punishing me, etc. I would make sure I let them know it wasn't cool.

yes but he is the kids father figure

Yeah, if I had a step dad go all authoritative on me, especially at that age, I'd probably get him in a lot more trouble, now I'd know I could. My parents are divorced and both have relationships, but the moment that the other decides they're my parent I'm gone. Literally.

I don't need to look at your profile to guess you must be 12 years old at most.

hahahhahahaha. I dont know what to think. For sure you can't be over 12.. But it'd be hilarious if you were a grown man. Wtf old man :P
