I have to respectfully disagree with you Divine.

When you treat your own child with love and kindness, yet so obviously have disdain for your partners child, that is treating the child less than.

No two ways about it.

And some of us have a huge capacity for love, we can and do love other children as our very own, without any pretext or delusion of replacing their parental unit.

The one doesn’t have to equal the other.

That makes no sense.
