Do step-fathers get Father's Day gifts from their step-children?

I thought it would be interesting to do a little informal poll - Do you get gifts from your step-kids on Fathers/Mothers Day? If you are a step-child, do you give them?

In my family we don't look at the "step" in parenting.  My girls never looked at loving hubby as a "stepfather" He was "dad" even before we got engaged. But now how he is adoiding them, he isn't much of nothing. But they still "slip up" and call him "daddy" if he deserves it, they will do somthing for him. If not.......forget about it  I have a 22 year old "step daughter" from a former relationship. Although she don't call me mom (some times she does) I always get a call or card on mothers day & birthdays and they mean just as much to me as the ones I get from my "real" children. Family is not always blood.

I have 8 children.3 by my soon-to-be ex-wife,2 by a previous relationship and 3 I picked up when we first got together.As far as being a"step-parent" I don't use that term at all. The way I handled it was like this I "stepped" into these kids lives and that's the only "step" I want  hear.To this day people cannot tell any difference between mine and hers because when I got with her they became mine. Now if you have involved exes then you back away from trying to be so much of a parent as you are a guide.I may not be your mommy or daddy but you will listen to me and respect me.So when Father's or Mother's Day comes if you have done the work then you deserve the reward.

All my step-parents (even no longer steps) get cards.

really depends on the situation and relationships i think.  yes, step parents should be a part of the day...if they are real step parents (meaning involved).
