Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg's new movie, "Daddy's Home," inspired us to make this quiz to see if your stepdad is a real creep.
We came across a predictable shit-show of a movie that’s coming out next week that kind of made us cringe. “Daddy’s Home,” featuring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, focuses on the strife between real dad and stepdad. Now don’t get us wrong, we appreciate the stepdads really stepping up after a the sperm donor has left the building. But what about those bio-daddy’s that are still in the picture, and have to deal with some doucherat new hubby who just won’t stop pretending he fathered the bios actual kids?
There’s a certain creep factor to some stepdads, so we thought we’d create a little test for those of you that think: “Hey, this stepdad is stepping over his boundaries. And now? Now shit is creepy.” You can tally the points at the end to determine if that creepy dude who married your mom is in fact the definition of a true, creepy stepdad.
Disclaimer: If you’re sensitive and a creepy stepdad you’re going to hate this test, so please … please continue.

Points:
A’s are worth 0 points
B’s are worth 1 point
C’s are worth 1,000 points
Compare:
If you chose mostly A’s: Your stepdad isn't a creeper. He respects your bio-dad, and allows your mom the room to parent without sticking his irrelevant nose into your family business. This is rare, so give him a high-five and compliment his dip the next time you see him.
If you chose mostly B’s: Your stepdad is a little bit creepy, but this is probably because he hates his biological kids, has no kids, doesn't have a job he cares about, or just married your mom for money. And hey, he doesn’t invade your life too much, but make sure you keep him at arm’s length and set some serious boundaries. Also give him back his copy of “Our Body Ourselves,” he’s probably not having sex with your mother anymore, so he needs the material.
If you chose mostly C’s: Call the police, get a restraining order and get your mom and yourself some intense family therapy. This guy is a fucking creep that needs some stern words and a chokehold by bio dad.
