Stepmother pesters 15-year-old stepson to 'go out more,' father wants her to mind her business regarding his son's life: 'But she won't drop the topic, because she thinks it's not "healthy" for him'

It's always nice to have multiple sources of input in a child's life. As parents, you're surely the biggest influence, but you shouldn't be the only. That's how you end up with sheltered children. So you should invite all kinds of presences in the lives of your children-- teachers, friends, other members of your family. But naturally, you would still want to be picky about those influences. This is your child we're talking about, after all. 

But surely the person you plan to marry would be included in those ranks. When you're choosing a partner, especially as a parent, you think about who you want in your child's life. You want them to be a good influence, and you want your child to like them. But what happens if they start to overstep? Is there such a thing as too much parenting? Those are the questions that parent started to ask when their partner had a lot to say about their parenting. They weren't sure whether or not it was their right to feel concerned about this amount of input.
