We have just found out that my stepdaughter is pregnant. Her Dad and I have been together for many years, but my relationship with her has always been tricky. There has always been a degree of separation between us, and her with my (younger) children. We are very excited about the baby, but I’m unsure how to navigate this sensitively.
My husband keeps just referring to himself as being a Grandad, but when my stepdaughter told us she was pregnant, she asked me whether I wanted to be Nan or Nana, and she was talking to my children about being an Aunty and Uncle, so I did feel that she wants us all involved, which I would love. I have always been conscious of her own Mum, and I would never step on her toes, but my children still live with us, and so when we are in our house, I would like us all to be included.
Any advice?
