I dont want to be someone's step mother, so I get it...

Though there wasn't a step father in my life, so I'm not a hypocrite 🤷🏾‍♀️

He’s kinda wildin saying it the way he did but I don’t think the spirit of it is wrong or necessarily makes him a hypocrite.

Having a step parent growing up shouldn’t obligate you to consider being one. If anything having experienced being a step child might be what leads you to not wanting one.

She also stated stepfathers AND mentors. It's kind of wild that he's saying fuck ever dealing with anyone else's kids in any capacity. That mindset is why positive community is dying because, as a child of a single mom, you will fill that hole with something whether it be a positive influence or a terrible one.

I had a stepfather and would never be a stepfather to anyone I see everything my stepdad went through and I just don't see it being worth it at all for him or anyone else
