re: ? For Stepdads

And i’m Probably even more defensive because of the situation. So I project that on other blended families. I know it works for some people.
I know my aunt got remarried when my cousins were young, and he helped raise them along with their dad. But he always called them by their name or as “the boys” and they just called him by his name.
And we all have a great relationship. So I know it can work.

My wife calls my son from my first marriage her son, and he calls her mom.
But , that's because his mom is a piece of shite who has nothing to do with him and she and he became closer due to that. IF the child has a good relationship with their own parent , I find it to be artificial to call the step mom or dad, and somewhat insulting to their actual parent.

My wife and I refer to our two boys as son (each of us have 1 a piece from previous marriage). My step-son lost his father when he was 8 and I came in the picture when he was 12. He refers to me as his Step-Dad and I am cool with that but, I always refer to him as my son. Don't make it to difficult and it won't be.

Eh, it's not always that black and white. I'm a stepdad of an 11 year old and I started dating his mom (now my wife) when he was 6 months old. For the first 6 years of his life, his dad was not a big part of his life, but apparently got his senses together and things are pretty normal now. My son calls us both "dad." And it's not even been brought up that it should ever be anything different.

Out of respect for her mother, I’ll always refer to her as my stepdaughter. It doesn’t diminish my love for her in any way.
She will always call me by a nickname of my first name. Not mom.

Let me guess.
You have no kids prior and she doesn't have any step children?

Did you tell the kid you know which parent he loves the most?
