[quote=Anonymous]I'm a stepmom and have no problems being called that or introduced as such, because it's what I am. But I have a stepmother as well (she and my father married the year I graduated high school, so she did not raise me in any way) and I remember shortly after my daughter was born, DH and I went up to visit her and my father. My dad was returning from a work trip late, so DH, stepmother, DD and I went out to dinner. While waiting on a table, we ran into a friend of my stepmother's. She introduced us as "John's daughter, her husband, and his granddaughter." I think after she said it she realized it sounded weird because she tacked on, "And she (DD) is my little gem!" It was so awkward because she basically made it sound as if she had no connection to us whatsoever- we solely belonged to my dad. I remember thinking, "Why not just say this is my stepdaughter and her family and my new little granddaughter"? It would have sounded so much nicer. I know she's not my "mom" but we are family and her introduction made it sound like we were mere acquaintances. [/quote]
