Maybe, if the step-parent has never had kids that would make sense.
Oh well. Such is life.

Well I don’t think it’s a shame. I think it’s the same way as grandparents and aunts and uncles don’t usually discipline (unless they become full time caregivers) and let it for parents. It doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a good relationship with stepkids. Or that stepkids shouldn’t love their stepparents.
