Having a discussion with someone on blended families. They are one of the 'step children are your children, must be loved the same as your children etc' type.
During our conversation she said it seems I just don't get the "warm fuzzies" about my step children. This was in response to me saying that their Dad is the one who does their bedtime routine when they are here (which actually doesn't involve much these days as they are late primary aged).
The fact I don't tuck them in myself shows I don't have the "warm fuzzies" for these children and that's sad and shows I don't care emotionally about them...
What?!?
