What if he has children? And they have a loving mother? What role will I play in their lives?
How about evil stepmother?
If all they get is love and comfort, how will they learn to navigate the reality of life?
Show them the importance of hard work. Disappointments of not getting what they want. Not having enough sometimes. Learning how to get by even with just a little bit. Love is conditional. And sometimes they will not get any of it.
And that there is no fairy godmother. Just hard work and a bit of luck.
Go right ahead, evil stepmother! Do your thing.
