To think you're not a "step parent" when...

[ThistleDoMeNicely]

You don't live with your partner?

Have never met the child you are apparently a step parent too?

You're never going to meet the child you are apparently a step parent too?

You've been with the childs father 5 minutes?

If all of the above are true and they still refer to the child as their step child is it just me that thinks they are delusional?

It's civil and the majority of the time friendly even but I 100% wouldn't mention it to her. I think its quite clear that she will repeat anything I say to her to ExH so I'd rather keep shtum. May as well puzzle them by not saying a word about it as much as she has puzzled me.

Well the idea was that she would indeed repeat ;-) thus marking the strange woman's/exH card so to speak, about how this sort of behaviour is viewed.

Hmm yes I do see you're point but I think I may wait and see how this pans out. She obviously has something she wants to say/find out so I think I'll act oblivious for the time being
