[quote=Anonymous]My SM and Dad have blended finances (at this point, they’ve been married 25+ years and they have a kid together), so I assume my SM paid half — or, actually, more, since she’s wealthier than my dad — of everything he paid, which was about 2/3rds of everything growing up + half of sticker price at an Ivy + $50K towards law school. No complaints from me at all. I don’t consider her my mom, I have one of those (parents had shared physical custody)... more like a close aunt. My kids definitely consider her a “real” grandparent though. We have not even introduced the notion that her being my SM somehow changes things technically. They’re her only grandkids (none of my siblings — she has 3 bio kids — are currently married/have kids and it may stay that way re: kids, although it also may not) and I have no doubt she loves them as her own.[/quote]
