[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, let me tell you a little story.

My super picky 11 year old DS recently visited my SO’s parents in the Netherlands, along with me and my SO.  My son had met them once before in the US over the holidays. While in the Netherlands, they went out of their way to make sure he had food that he would normally eat in the US, including bread that was very similar in appearance and taste to what he would eat here. In fact, they called us the week before we were to travel to ask what he eats, and made sure they had all those available. They of course offered him whatever the rest of us were eating, but always had an acceptable alternative. The one food they did introduce him to and that he absolutely loved was Dutch pancakes. FWIW, my son and I are Indian American, and my son only eats what a typical American kid his age would eat.

My son loves his Opa and Oma much more than he loves his biological grandparents. They reciprocate that love - and not once have they referred to him as their ‘step’ grandchild. So my advice would be to let this go if you want to have any sort of a positive relationship with the child.

Can someone explain why it's wrong for OP to mention that this child is a stepGS??? It's not wrong for stepparents to use step-son or step-daughter..so why slam the OP for mentioning this? If anything, because she's not related to the kid by blood, then her actions may be judged in a worse light. [/quote]
