How many stepfamilies are out there where the new step-parent is not a biological parent to his/her own? I've been in this boat as the new step-, and I'm now in a relationship (well, up until this past Friday, LOL) where my partner was not a bio-parent.

Non-bio's have "notions" of the way it should be vs. the way it is. There seems to be more of a black/white approach to parenting.

I was no exception many years ago when I inherited two step kids. I didn't have the experience to think about my own contribution to the kid's behavioral response to something, much less evaluate more than my black/white ideals.

Who else has encountered this? And how did you and the non-bio-parent work it out?
