In total that is 7 kids that live with us full time (except the 3 from my first husband are with him on weekends). Anyway, whenver someone asks how many kids I have I always say 5 because I'm only including the children that I HAVE HAD, not my step children. My husband also says he has 4 children, 2 from me, 2 from previous wife. I always get mad at him when he doesn't count MY 3 kids, and he always gets mad at me when I don't count HIS 2 kids. But we never seem to talk or do anything about it. Is it really unfair? Should we both count our step children... as our children. I'm confused. I'd love it if someone could give me their views on this. Thanks!!! | |  | |
