A step parent, either male or female, whom weds someone that has children from a prior failed relationship. The "stepsucker" provides shelter, clothing, food, financial support, stability, etc., etc. to stepchildren that always take yet do not give and are more than willing to live off of someone they resent and have no respect for. The "stepsucker" is permitted the obligation of having to help raise the children but are not allowed to discipline them. Any step parent that is called dad or mom by loving appreciative children is exempt from this definition.

A real man that steps up and takes care of some other guys children after having wed their mother. This man is helping his wife to raise the children and he is either appreciated or he isn't. Not all stepdads are mean, bullies, assholes, etc. that abuse the head of household position. There are stepdads that really do care and only want the best for his " family ". Not all stepdads are some loser these kid's mom picked up someplace. Most moms put a lot of thought into choosing the man she wants to help take care of those she dearly loves.

A stepasshole can be male or female and is the bad step-parent that gives the good step-parents a negative image. The majority of step-parents are doing their best and trying to make everything work out all around for everybody involved yet the opposite is true of the stepasshole whom only cares about the one, themself.
