(Name changed for this thread)
We’ve been good friends for about a year but only get the opportunity to meet up once a month for a catch up.
We met up yesterday evening to go out for dinner and a couple of drinks. We were having a good chat about our DC when I started to tell her about how proud I was of my DSS (12) for doing so well since he started secondary school.
My friend pulled a face at me and said - ‘why would you be proud of him, he’s not your son!’
I replied - ‘No but that doesn’t mean I can’t be proud of him, he has been a big part of my life for the past 6 years’
She laughed and said - ‘next you will say you love him’
I replied - ‘well I do, of course I do, he’s part of my family!’
It became awkward after this and we made small talk finishing our last drinks and left.
AIBU to not want to speak/see her for a while now as this upset me, even more so the more I thought about it.
Or do others have the view that you shouldn’t/can’t be proud of and love step children.
