[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My best guy pal (widower) who married his new wife had 2 kids. New wife (divorced) had 3 kids. All kids were under 6. The kids have little/no memory of ever being without each other. The word "step" hasn't really been used in their household. 5 is enough. No children together. Very smart. [/quote] yeah sure my stepmother would claim a similar story for our blended family ... all totally fake. [/quote] Yup. You can ban the word, but the reality remains. And just because it seems good to an outside observer, or the parents insist to themselves or others that everything is great, doesn't mean that it actually is. And even if it is okay now, doesn't mean it always will be. These fake family bonds can't really withstand any stress and if a real problem develops, people will cut their losses.[/quote]
