[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not everyone wants bio kids, you know? Sure, it's not the norm, but people like that exist (I'm one of them).[/quote]

29yo has no kids and no intention of ever having kids. It's not about bio kids at all - she is not planing to adopt.[/quote]

Well, the original post made it sound like she was being discredited b/c she didn't have or want bio kids (said nothing about step kids or having no kids at all):

"who says she doesn't want her own biological children [b](yeah, right.)[/b]" and the bolded part makes the OP sound like he/she is in disbelief that someone might not want bio children.

Anyway, I don't know this 29 year old or if she's a stepmom or not, but I have friends who have step-kids and they are excellent parents (or parent-figures [b]for those of you who apparently don't believe being a step-parent means you have kids[/b]), plus many of them have been step parents for way longer than I myself have been a parent.[/quote]

Tell me of a legal document where the step-mother of a child is listed under the rubric 'mother'.[/quote]

OMG.  You're probably the kind of person who always uses qualifiers- "she's an adoptive parent," "their step-children," "his half-brother," and so on.  There are many, many step-parents who fill the role of "parent" better than the biological parent.  Sure this 29 year old may only be a "stepmom" but who, besides you, cares?[/quote]

I think children's mother probably cares, for example. And btw, you don't really know that that woman is their "biological" mother. You keep treating step-parenting as something very similar to adoption, but there is no similarity whatsoever between the two. Those children were not abandoned by their mother with whom they in fact spend most of their time.

It might happen that the step-parent fits parental role better (when parents passes away, for example) but there is zero evidence whatsoever that that is the case here. The bottom line is, when you marry you become wife, not mother. [/quote]
