Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the stepmother family, the lesbian stepmother performs most of the traditional mothering tasks, but the biological mother retains most of the decision-making power. In the cohabitating family, the lesbian stepmother and biological mother are not yet married or cohabiting. In the co-parent family, both mothers share in the mothering tasks and decision-making power equally. In the co-mother family, both mothers are seen as equals, but the biological mother is the one who gave birth to the child(ren) and therefore may have a stronger bond or connection.
