Hey everyone,

As a stepparent of 4, I’m just wondering what all of the kids call you? I realise it depends on the situation, but I’m just curious. Mine call me by my name, as they have a mum that has them 50-50. I wouldn’t even say it’s my role to be a “stepparent” as I feel it’s not really my place, given both are already in that parenting role. (Their mother and father) who are both very much present in their lives.

I’m just curious what others situation is and what you’re called by your step kids?

My husband has 4 boys….yep 4! With the same mother, and their ages are 5,7,12,14.
I’m 35 and have never been that maternal or a 100% yes on having my own children, but after spending time with his children 50-50, I do often wonder what it would be like having my own with him and the older the get the more I desire having my own. He’s expressed he’d love to share a child with me, and he’s an amazing dad, but I just don’t know how the step kids would cope, how he’d feel about spending full time with my child and part time with the others, and end up resenting me? Has anyone been step parent to multiple children and had their own biological child? How do you find it?
