Sins of the father?

Look at it from the kids point of view. Someone has come into their parents relationship, torn it apart, had a child with their dad and now they the children get the cold shoulder because of their dad and step mums actions.

Sounds like the kids are getting multiple punishments from adults for actions other members of their group performed. That's called prejudice.

Adults should lead the way and not punish children for another adults action. Otherwise you end up with horrible outcomes such as this: http://m.smh.com.au/world/children-b...102-28nny.html

Stepmothers in fairy tales always are portrayed as horrible. Guess what the most likely female murderer is a step mum. Either we mature as a society and treat our extended families with more humanity or we can expect horrible outcomes as the consequences.
