I’m a stepdad, and my wife thinks I should refer to my stepson and stepdaughter as son and daughter. Do you refer to your stepchildren that way?

It depends on how old they were when you took over, and the degree to which their biological father plays a role in their life.

I can’t speak for real life, but in the porn videos they do.

I'm not in this situation but if it doesn't come natural don't do it but at some point it will.

It depends on which pornhub channel you upload the videos.

I’ve had a stepdad and stepmom for close to 18 years and that would weird me out unless someone just calls me their son. In that situation I don’t correct them just because it’s a common misconception.

I also think it’s weird if they say they ‘love you’ but it differs in every situation obviously.

FWIW, I like both of my stepparents

Yes, I made it a point to make him feel just as loved as my own son and it was easy, he’s a good kid.

As a dad, I don’t want any other man calling my kids their son or daughter. Or them calling another man dad.


I’m their dad. They don’t need another one.

Just don't ever forget she had their real daddy's dong in her mouth multiple times.

I should have prefaced my OP with “when speaking to others about your stepchildren...”

I take great interest in them, and I take pride in their accomplishments, so sometimes I brag a little, but I always refer to them as stepson and stepdaughter.

My brothers have not seen or heard from their father in over 30 years. My dad took over that role when they were really young, and they refer to him unequivocally as dad and he refers to them unequivocally as his sons. Like I said, the context of the role of the actual father is extremely important in the terminology used.

Ok. I refer to my stepdaughter as my daughter but I've raised her since she was 2 and her biological father hasn't attempted contact in 16 years. It's highly dependent on the situation.

If he’s a deadbeat sperm donor that ran out on them long ago that’s one thing. But if he’s in their lives and doing what he can it’s very disrespectful.


Every situation is different, sure. But if their real father is in the picture you won’t ever replace him

its their place to lead, if they call you by name or stepdad then call them by name of step whatever

if they call you dad then call them son and/or daughter in return

if they are very young then by default i would call them son and/or daughter

Agreed. My folks have been split for a while, too, and I refer to my dad's wife exactly as that - she isn't even my stepmom. She is my dad's wife. We are friends and are very cool with each other, but she hasn't played any kind of motherly role at all for me.

I am a step kid to a step father, and if he ever did this it would be weird. Forced.

Yeah, mine remarried when I was 38. He's just a cool guy with a boat to me.

If Dad is actively involved in life of the kids, then don't fall for her trap.
