Watch your titles LMO :-) This is my stepson:



and this is his son:



My granddaughter's hair is turning more auburn than red but use to be their color :-)

I know exactly where you are coming from; I'm a stepdaughter too (as well as the step grandmother and not the "real" grandmother). My husband's ex-wife's mother is still around and comes to all the parties too so I feel thoroughly out of place. My stepsister was an only child and my stepmother spent all kinds of time with her and her children and they'd all have parties that I wasn't invited to, etc. I'm glad at least your step-siblings talk about it and try to "help" even things out. I just always felt like a stepchild and now like a stepgrandmother. My stepson is cool though, as is our daughter-in-law and the ex-wife has quirky behavior that we all acknowledge and tease each other about and I feel included there.
