We had a long talk before marraige that if I'm going to take over the dad role (he was 2 at the time), then I'm the dad and I get full rights to be the dad.
That's almost like me having the final say on selecting what new car or house we buy because I bring home more money than my wife. |
My children were all three teens when DH and I got married. Our household rules and consequences were already pretty much set in stone by then, and for someone else to come in and want to make new rules and consequences, that would have created anger and resentment all around. AND....all the children have their bio father involved, so DH isn't their father, and they know it. He's a male role model, and a good one, but he's not Dad.
Oh, and DH gets the final say in the car and house purchase here, not because he brings home more money, but because he's the head of the family.
