[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always say “We have five”. In the 25 years we have been married, I have never referred to my children as “step” or “bio”. They don’t use the terms “step” or “half” to describe their relationships. They are just brothers and sisters. They are grown now. They coordinated plans so that they would all be home at the same time for Christmas this year. I’m grateful they are all so close. When I married my DH, I already had two children. I inherited two more. We had one together. I’m grateful every day for the family we created. There is no place in our family for terms that create distinctions. We are a family. [/quote] Nice erasure of their actual mother! You sound like you're in desperate denial of the fact that they have a different mother, who is not you. [/quote]
