Are you a stepchild, I need your input
Hi, this has nothing to do with my other post, but I've been reading some of the questions and answers based on stepparents and stepchildren, and it's made me question a couple things.
I have a stepson. He just turned 19 months, and he came into my husband and my life when he was 5 months old. I truly love him as my own son, and will never think of him any less than my own son. Now I've read a couple stepchildren have said that they really feel closer and respect their stepparents more when they call them their own child, treat them the same, etc. I have no problem with treating my stepson as my own, I do that everyday, I'd call him everyday when he's at his moms, but I know she would flip out on me, so I don't... but is it really okay to call him my son and not my stepson? And I need the opinions of STEPCHILDREN, because obviously biological parents won't feel the same, but this isn't about them, it's about the children. I don't care if you're a 40 year old stepchild or a 14 year old stepchild, I would like your opinion on the matter. Thanks
