[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [/quote] As a step kid, the risk of a kid feeling like they aren't a part of a family is worse than a kid getting spoiled on christmas. You're right, you get a lot of stuff, but you are also VERY attuned to relationships and who thinks of you as 'family' and so honestly as a step kid you remember the snubs way more than the gifts, because the snubs MEAN something. Giving to the steps makes them feel secure, like they belong. That is the gift you're giving.[/quote] Completely agree[/quote] It’s the same with adults who aren’t considered family. Not so much gifts but things like not being mentioned in a Facebook post when everyone else is mentioned, not being included in a Christmas photo card that is showing “our family”…it’s very telling and this person wonders why I’m not willing to be her childcare provider 😝[/quote]
