To all the step parents, why do people always say "this is what u signed up for when u got married." I cant stand this statement. This is not true to me. We are supposed to be there for our spouse to be loving and supportive not to be walked all over. It's like they say u have not choice but to be this or to do that. I dont understand why we are the bad guys in this situation when we stand up for ourselves and stand our ground. What do yall think?

Question about taxes

Hi everyone I'm new to the site and have a question that I have been thinking about since last year. So me and my husband have 1 child together and he has a child from previous relations. My stepson came to live with us 2yrs ago. In my opinion when we do our taxes me always split what we get for our child. So with my stepson now living with us do you think it's right for him to split for my stepson as well? The biological mom doesn't do anything to help since he's been with us. She barely sees him. I think last yr she saw him like 4 times out the whole yr but she contributes nothing.
