It's not that I think this is an original concept in this group

but since I'm a newbie to step life and also to this forum, I just wanted to clarify an important point.

I did see the forum topic on what all the abbreviations mean. However, they don't necessarily mean the same things for me as they do for many other people in here. Wink

I don't have step kids. My husband has children.

I don't make a distinction in my life between bio-mom and step-mom. The kids only have one mom. I'm not it.

When I use the abbreviation "skids", it means skidmarks.
When I use the abbreviation "BM", it means bowel movement.

My husband has skidmarks left over from a bowel movement he discarded. I'm not cleaning it up.

That is all. }:)

Awww. I love you too. I love your humor, it's not for the thin-skinned.

It is a wonderful indulgence to come in here and say all the nasty things I'd never say in front of DH. Hell, I don't even think many of my friends would be amused. I don't know a lot of people stuck in my position. The "words of wisdom" and "advise" I get elsewhere.... :sick:

I agree. I only refer to SD as SD on this site. IRL, I call her my husband's daughter (or use her name with people who know who she is). I don't hate her or anything but I have no real warm feelings towards her, either.

I asked my husband what he thought I should put on the gift tags for SD's kids, as I don't feel grandmotherly towards them. From: Grandpa and hereiam? He said that would hurt SD's feelings. Ok fine, but I really feel weird putting Grandma, I am not their Grandma. Maybe I will just forget to put who they are from since we will just be handing them over personally, on some other day besides Christmas because the world would stop turning if SD ever spent a holiday with us.
