Would you want them to come to their funeral, send a card, or just call you? What would your DH do if they didn't do anything? What would you do if they didn't do anything?

I know my skids would come to their funerals, but they like my family and my family likes them. My stepmother isn't the greatest, but I sent her a card when her parents died and called her. I just think it's the right thing to do.

I know that a lot of you here have skids who are the "only children." Heck, I was an only child until my mom married my stepdad. I'm older than my stepsibs, but it was still a huge adjustment for me.

I think that this situation becomes a lot more complex in a step/blended family (as do a lot of other things!). For instance, Dad and Mom divorce and only have 1 child (SS or SD). Then Dad remarries someone who does have children or someone who doesn't have kids but wants them in the future. Mom might remarry, but decides she doesn't want any more kids for whatever reason.

I'm watching it right now. I have a cold and I love the nanny. She doesn't take cr*p from anyone! I think she could really help a lot of our families out. I hope that someday, she goes to the home of a dad and SM. The dad and SM could have full custody, joint legal and/or physical custody, or even EOW visitation. I really feel that Jo could help so many of us out. If you've never seen Supernanny, I highly recommend it. Jo is awesome and has helped so many people out.

I ask because the skids are doing great, but I think (and they have said) that they would like to meet other skids. I'm going to ask their wonderful therapist about it this week.
