This is my first posting here so be gentle with me please! :)
I'm a stepmum of a 12 year old girl. Married her dad a year ago. She lives with her mum and stepdad but visits us once a fortnight. Anyway tonight was the 2nd time I've caught her referring to her stepdad as 'dad'. She checked herself and tried to cover it up but I caught it. Tbh I think it went over her dad's head but I heard it and it hurt me on behalf of her dad. I don't know what to do. Should I talk to her about it privately? Let it go? Talk to my hubby? I don't want to hurt him by bringing it up if he's blissfully ignorant. But it doesn't feel right.
I am struggling with the whole stepmum thing besides all this but it's great to know from the forum that it's not just me and that others understand my situation. I don't have any friends who are stepmums and it can be quite isolating.
