(+) Yeah! (+)

And despite spending money and time on him, he says "you're not my real dad!" Seems shitty.

I mean you're not.

I mean, if you're not super insecure than you know a kid saying shit like that isn't a big deal. Kids will say shit like "I wish I had different parents" and what not too.

Im here if you need to talk, tc

I love my wife's son. We spend every weekend together playing Switch when his dad takes my wife out to play badminton (must be a real workout, they always come back sweaty!).

Imagine raising another man's son.

Provided proper bonding can occur, it's possible for such an arrangement to turn out well.
However, I understand why it's justifiably not a popular ideal...particularly in the current age.

There's quite a few potential cons a man can face when deciding to "step up" (which he's not obligated to do in the first place).

I applaud attempts to become a good stepparent, but I will never grudge anyone for not feeling comfortable accepting a burden that's not initially theirs. The best parents are the ones who truly want to do the job.
