My DS has called her his best friend since he was 3 and he still does it now. He has loads of friends at school but still says this about her.
Can't see the problem with this. It shows they have a really close relationship but that he doesn't think of her as a mum.
When she was pregnant she wouldn’t let anyone visit her daughter until my son had visited.
Er... of course?? 'Her daughter' is HIS SISTER. It's totally appropriate that he should be the first person to meet her.
He goes to drama club every Thursday and he will only let her take him. He says it’s their special thing, it’s so weird for them to have a special thing she’s not his parent.
Oh, grow up. Of course they can have a 'special thing'. She isn't his parent but she is his family.
He will sit and cuddle her.
She's been his family since he was a toddler. This is normal.
He says he loves her and she loves him. So weird in my opinion.
Totally normal and absolutely lovely.
He says she’s his family, she isn’t she just married his dad.
You and your son are a family. Your son, his dad, his stepmum and his sister are also a family. Get over yourself.
She has always read him a book before bed. He says she’s the best reader. Why doesn’t his dad do this, why is this woman putting my son to bed?
She's not 'this woman', she's his stepmum and the mother of his sister. Of course she can read him a story.
He calls her parents nana and grandad and spends a lot of time with him. They take him places like play area and indoor play. They’re not his grandparents. Why is dad allowing this?
Oh, honestly, get the fuck over yourself. Why the fuck WOULDN'T you want your son to have nice people in his life who make a fuss of him and make sure he isn't left out?
This has GOT to be a reverse, surely. You cannot possibly be as bitter and selfish as this. Any decent mum would be delighted to know their son was as loved and included at his dad's house as he was at hers.
My brother married a woman with two kids and they then went on to have more children together. Of course my brother read his stepchildren a bedtime story, put them to bed and cuddled them. They were small children. Was he supposed to cuddle his biological kids and read them a bedtime story and then just ignore his stepkids? His stepkids call my parents Nanny and Grandad to this day - and they're now in their late 20s/early 30s and my brother is divorced from their mum! They call me and my sister their aunties. That doesn't mean we're in any way replacing their biological relatives - we're not. But we were invited to their weddings etc just as their biological grandparents and aunts/uncles were, and their biological family are lovely and completely unthreatened by that. In fact, both their biological grandmothers have told me, separately and unprompted, that they really love the way the two kids were/are part of our family.
