When a couple separates, the most affected are the children as they have to live with single parents. They occasionally also have to handle their step-relations. Moreover, their step-parent makes them feel awkward often with their behavior. The step-parent normally gets concerned by the involvement of the children’s biological parent in their family matters. It is not their fault if their parents parted because children love them just as much and they have the right to spend time with both parents.
It is common to witness step-parents attempting to replace the real ones which is not very realistic. OP narrates the story about his brother-in-law who tries to spoil his stepchildren to get importance over their biological father.

1. OP is asking if he is wrong to tell his brother-in-law to stop competing with his nibling’s dad.
2. OP’s sister had three kids with her ex-husband, even though it was an unstable marriage. After compromising for many years, she ultimately decided to end it.
3. OP never liked his sister’s new husband, Stan. Stan assumed that the ex-husband was the sole reason for their divorce and expected them to hate him.
4. Stan spared no effort to make the kids accept him as their true dad but got annoyed when all his efforts went in vain.
5. Stan started spoiling the real dad’s image in the eyes of the kids, even though OP’s family knew that he was always a great dad.
6. Stan made a lot of effort to step in for the real dad but all he did was driving them farther away.
7. OP finally decided to confront Stan for his wrong behavior but he lost his temper instead of understanding his point. OP’s sister told him that he could have been kinder to Stan.
8. If Stan keeps behaving in the same manner, he will be left all alone.

10. According to the user, OP’s sister should have taken stand for the kids.
11. Surely, Stan should come to his senses and stop meddling with the children’s minds.

16. Hope OP sees this and acts on this user’s advice.
17. LOL, that really sounds awkward.
18. Stan should not forcefully ask the kids for the same affection they give to their real dad.
19. This user has a unique approach to OP’s situation and it could be the real case.
