It can be a step up or a step down, but either way someone else gets decide which. I am going to fill out all future paperwork that asks for a relationship indicating that I am the "other" parent.

Sweet! Love it. I hate the word "step" too. My SO and I will not be step parents, just friends, and our home is a "unit" not a family. Mostly that all comes about b/c our kids are older and do not want step parents or siblings at all. I don't want step kids at all. I call them that on here; SO and I are getting married this month so technically his kids will be my skids, but I refuse to be THEIR mom. I have my own kids thank you very much. They have a mom and sadly she has completely dropped the ball and is no longer part of their lives, but then find a girlfriend. haha. Oh make sure it's a first girlfriend or it might be the step girlfriend. (HUH? Ok I gotta get some sleep! ha)
