I don’t disagree that it’s nice to see a stepdad having a good bond with their stepchildren but it would be so lovely to see him interacting with his older boys too. Maybe they don’t share interests but as a parent surely the expectation is that you make an effort to get involved with whatever it is they DO like??
I can categorically say I have zero interest in football or basketball but I have never missed a match my kids have played in because I love watching them and being able to talk about how it went with them afterwards. I can’t stand Star Wars, Harry Potter or Marvel but I’ve seen all the films, done the tours and read the books aloud to my children when they were obsessed. I actively seek out experiences for us to share even when they involve subjects I’d rather scratch my eyes out than engage with ordinarily. That’s being a parent, isn’t it?
Also I don’t think singing is something they should get excited about Edie pursuing
