This is probably more par for the course. Studies show that males with no children often have a negative or neutral response to children; in effect they are playing at being a father for the mother's approval. If they are extraordinarily giving individuals they might be able to hold up the act, but in general the result is a favored child and a less favored step child.
Children are also at a MUCH greater risk of being hurt or killed by stepfathers
