a. Love their kids as much as they love their own
b. accept the fact that their kids' need come first
c. put their bio kids name on the new spouses' will
A=I doubt that would happen.
B=Minor children, I'd say,yes.
C=No one has any obligation to leave anything to anyone. If I were the new spouse, I wouldn't change my will, who knows if the marriage will even last.

no
yes
no
this is for a partner.
If they decide to commit to a long-term monogamous relationship, then yes to all 3.
Can a person love other people's kids as much as their own?
So if a step mother is sick in bed, the kid's needs of going to the football games come before hers?
If the step mother refuses to put other people's kids name on her will in order to protect her own kids, she is an evil step mother?
I am asking these questions for my sister. So my opinions might be a bit biased.
I don't think she is asking dumb question. Actually, these are the demands of her new fiance.
He expected her to do all the above. I don't think his requrests are all that reasonable.

A. Most of the time, no. But who is measuring love?
B. This isn't an either/or proposition, since the needs are different. Exceptions are preschool and younger children, someone with special mental/health needs etc. Each partner has to be willing to put a great deal into meeting EVERYONES needs.
C. Totally depends.
