[quote=Anonymous]P.S. A man I know introduced me to his parents once at a sporting event. Then I heard his father died. I sent a condolence note about how much I enjoyed meeting him and how I loved hearing about their wonderful travels. Well, it turns out he'd introduced me to his STEP-FATHER. But didn't bother to note that. I was mortified and he was embarrassed, too. It was really awkward. So, that's a case for calling a step-parent a step-parent. If he'd introduced his mother and his mother's husband, I would have understood. I also think stepmother is much less loaded than it used to be. But boy, when I hear stories about a stepmother making an issue of the term, and putting a child in an awkward situation because of her hangups, it makes me mad! OP, you should not have to deal with this![/quote]
