[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have ONE mother in my life and only she gets to be called that.  To the lady who married my father, just no.[/quote]

Yes. I totally agree. My dad remarried, but didn't have any more kids.  None of us would call her mom. Or if they had a child consider their child to be a sibling. When someone already has a family then decides to have more with other partners it's beyond irresponsible. The term "blended family", was coined to make dysfunctional seem normal. It's not fair to your kids to have more children from different partners. Another reason kids are messed up today, along with other things in our society. [/quote]

“Blended families” have been happening forever though. There were lots of remarriages in the past. My great grandma was a young widow with kids who had more kids with her second husband. Also extended families were more involved in the past. The idea of the perfect little nuclear family unit is a fairly recent one.[/quote]
