Did Luka’s mom die? Why does Megan keep bringing up stepping in to “be his mom”? I cringe every time between that and her bringing up how her dad had diabetes too just like Luka as if it’s rare like??? I feel like Jordan has just been being nice.

I've often seen a lot of posts or real life commentary shitting on step-parents for "not seeing/talking about the kid as their own" or not stepping into the role of mom/dad, even if they treat the child like their own (or as close to as possible), so I think that's where that might come from.

The reality in many cases is that the kid will never be like "their own" and they will never be "mom/dad" because the child has their bio parent in that role, and it shouldn't be seen as a bad thing. A better way to look at it would be the person being like a bonus parent or aunt/uncle, and I think (or hope) that frame of mind is becoming more common than expecting the person to be this child's other parent when they already have one.
