AUTHOR: CaliforniaMommy | | | There are exceptions and each family is different but,I have 2 'step' children and 6 grand kid's. I give them the same respect as if they were from my own blood.Why put a lable on them. They will tell any one if asked but other then that we are a family.
I could not feel any different just because they are step children.If I felt the need to indicate the child was a step child I would be telling people that there is limits to our relationship.
I will say here are our children and grand children if introducing them. | |  | |
