The stepmum

This guy i know ends up marrying the girl he loves (without anyone in family knowing ) and then has to get forced married with a girl his parents chose. So in the eyes of the world he had parentschoice as his wife whereas on the side he had this other girl going too.

Khair, parentschoice girl never has any kids and soon the **** hits the fan. The khandaan knows he has this other wife as well and are mortified when its discovered he has a baby boy with her n all.

So for years this other wife and kid are kept at some secret location away from where he lives with family and parentschoice. Everyone knows about it but refuses to accept other wife and kid. Parentschoice tolerates the infidelity and stays mum.

HOWEVER the other wife has now left her kid at this guys house demanding he take care of him as its his child as well and plus she wants kid to get the love of family as well. So the guys mum n sisters are all fine with kid now…but the parentschoice is minding him. She bathes him, cleans up after him, puts him to bed…basically everything his real mum would do.

Can it ever be that a stepmum can love a child from the bottom of her heart. I mean i thought though child is innocent he is still a product of husbands infidelity. I don’t know whether i could do the same if my hubby did that with me..i mean its a huge amount of tolerance from parentschoice. Most girls would be out of the door.

What do you think? Most stepmums i have known are evil evil. The kids always hate them because they are treated differently n so forth. This is the first time ive seen such love from a stepmum.

Re: The stepmum

I don't think stepmums are necessarilly 'evil' but like you say, its hard for a woman to love someone elses child as their own........especially if that person has children of their own.

Re: The stepmum

Could simply be jealousy of him having a spare wife. Kind of undermines her power in the relationship....

Re: The stepmum

Not just a spare wife, but a wife that wasn't his choice in the first place, and a wife that he could not bring himself to tell the truth to regarding his prior marriage.

Why doesn't the main mother take care of the child in terms of primary duties though?

Messed up Pakistani households...

Re: The stepmum

big difference btw normal stepmum and childless stepmum…childless ppl have all all the love to give in the world…this could even be a perfect scenario…what happens when a woman is childless, she arranges her husband to marry another woman, and still keep her…is case mai toa, bacha tak haath lag gaya hai…i feel sorry for the 'other’choice…gets no family respect and acceptance and is dumb enough to let the kid go thinking it’ll be better…the kid will grow up hating even the idea of his/her original mother…may be this is what the other choice wants in the long run…i suppose kids can be a real pain, if u r the one not part of the accepted set-up and are being kept hidden away…anyhow, the other choice sounds really dumb, and has funny notions of marriage…retards ki kami nahin hoti duniya mai…:flower1:
