[quote=Anonymous]Do you even think of her as a stepmother? My husband's mother remarried at age 72 when my husband was 44. She and her husband had been living together for a few years and he had always been just "Bill." He did not become dad and my DH and BIL do not refer to him as their stepfather. He's their mother's husband. Nothing personal toward him- we all think he's an ok guy (actually easier to get along with than MIL is). It's just that he has never played anything like a parental role and never will. It's nice that my widowed MIL has someone but no one you meet in your 40s is a parental figure of any kind. I say this as someone whose husband is a wonderful stepparent. My daughter has a stepmother too. [/quote]
