The way I see it is if one isn't responsible, their hill in life becomes steeper and perilous; you can still get to the top but it becomes harder to do and you're more prone to tripping. I don't agree that stepfathers aren't respected and loved; there are many out there who are seen as the real daddy even if it's a later stepfather. I agree that it isn't wise to give children an unstable home life; it will start them with a steeper slope to overcome.
