Should new stepdad discipline stepson? | Philly | 05/30/2007
My daughter is a single mom to my grandson, who is nine years old. My grandson’s father is not and refuses to be involved in his life, although he does send child support. My daughter has been in a serious relationship with someone for the past 15 months or so. We believe they are discussing a future together and I am concerned about this guy’s role in my grandson’s life. For nine years, my daughter and grandson have been a bit of a dynamic duo, with our help when needed. She has been a terrific mother who has raised a little boy who has manners, is friendly, bright, and just a pleasure to be around. That being said, he is nine. Occasionally, his behavior needs correction. I truly believe that should she end up married, the primary responsibility for my grandson’s discipline should remain with her. I intend to express that opinion, if and when the time is appropriate.
My husband and I have been married for 35 years, so we have no reference regarding stepfamilies. What is the general advice in this situation?
