One of the problems with being a step dad (Although I don't really know if I qualify for that title) is that you're still getting used to the whole dadding about thing and the kid is pretty fucking experienced at being a kid. You're starting out with a pretty significant disadvantage.
It's just a constant barrage of minor things.
My biggest issue is just finding out where I fit into his daily routine, one that's built up around an every-other-weekend dad and a basically single mom.
But also just the instinct for taking responsibility for another person that's been drilled into my partner.

Yeah I have to imagine that's challenging. Struggling with anything specific? Or is it just a general notion?
