[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my fondest childhood memories was my little brother (half), who is nine years younger than me,  greeting me at the door of my dads house with his new-found knowledge of our relationship. "Did you know that dad used to be married to your mother  and they had you  and then they didn't love each other anymore, got divorced and dad met mom and married her and had me."

My dad realized that he needed to have the conversation when my brother referred to me as "you know, that girl who comes over here every Sunday "

Have the conversation. [/quote]

I'm divorced and remarried and that's basically exactly how DD's dad and I have explained her family to her. "Daddy/Mommy and I used to be married to each other, when you were a baby, but we got divorced when you were 2. We still care about each other, but not in a married way. Stepdad/Stepmom and I met each other later and fell in love and got married, and now you have 4 parents." None of us have additional children yet. DD is looking forward to it, though.[/quote]
