Supportive stepmom draws the line when husband thinks he can skip co-parenting duty for weekly poker night with friends: 'He didn't think it was a big deal'

Usually, when we hear the word "stepmom," our minds go straight to the villain. The Cinderella-hating, chore-assigning, cold-hearted stereotype. But in this case, the stepmom is the only one acting like a responsible adult.

This woman has been with her husband for years and has truly stepped up in her role as a stepparent. Maybe a little too much if you ask us. She's even referred to herself as the "default parent". She helps with school pickups, handles the kids during breaks, makes meals, and is even the one doing laundry, all while working full-time from home. So when her husband assumed he could still ditch parenting duties to play poker with his friends during his custody week this summer, she rightfully pushed back.

She's really not asking for much — just for her husband to be home when HIS kids are. You know, the bare minimum of co-parenting. But instead, he acted like she was overreacting. If anyone deserves a break, it's her.
