Stepdads: 12 Undeniable Reasons Why They Rock

There’s a saying that goes, “Having kids doesn’t make you a father. Raising them does.” These words could not ring truer when it comes to stepdads. From teaching us valuable life skills to being there for all our milestones, stepdads are important parts of our lives.

To celebrate this fact, we looked to Instagram to see all the reasons why #StepdadsRock. Did we miss any?

He's back. Miles was funny he asked every day when George would be back from Germany. This was bedtime booktime reunion first night after a long trip away. I love this. 💕😍 #stepdadsrock #bedtimestories #readmore

Just wanted to say happy birthday to someone who has held a pretty big impact in my life. Happy 65th birthday Karl! Thank you so much for being there for me no matter what and thank you for never sugar coating anything and giving me the hard truth even when I don't want to hear it. All around thanks for being a dad. #family #birthday #cantkillourvibe #stepdadsrock

Day 3-Someone I admire. While I do admire my mom, dad and hubby, today I'm choosing my step dad Rick. My parents have taught me more about running a ✨successful✨ business in my lifetime than anyone can ever learn in a classroom. Built from the ground up, Rick started Coastal in 1988 and its still going strong. I may not have always been watching, but I've always payed attention ☺ So when I see my name next to a photograph in a magazine, I always thank my parents first-because that's where it all started! And then my fabulous hubby of course ❤ #Professionalism #familybusiness #stepdadsrock #real30daychallenge

I'm so over sitting in a rink for hours on end 4 days a week. (Is it March yet???) But the entire struggle of it tonight was completely worth it to see this moment unfold. My boys working on crossovers. 😊😍 If I can melt and be frozen at the same time... That's what happened. 💕💖
