`titrebThe educational responsibilities and role for women in recomposed families`/titrebBringing up children is a more and more demanding task for parents, because of having to take into account their psychological needs revealed by psychology and the decisive factor which academic success represents today. The complexification of family trajectories, far from being an opportunity for innovative parenting, increases the burden on women. Often fathers no longer exercise authority or care of their children, which reduces the benefit that the children derive from their visits. Even when the child lives with the father, he counts on the stepmother to look after the child as if she was the mother, which sometimes requires excessive devotion on her part. In the recomposed family of the mother, the stepfather usually refrains from intervention: the mother keeps the central role. Coparenting in practice and maintaining a real substance of the paternal relationship would require a greater commitment from fathers.
