Dear JustUs,
I am dealing with something rather painful right now and need to know how to handle it better.
I just recently married a guy that has a child of his own. This was not a big deal at all for me and in fact I love his son. I also have 2 boys around his same age. They all get along here at home for the most part. There are a few squabbles, but aren’t there in all families between siblings?
The problem is that my parents and grandparents do not openly accept his child as “our” child. They make differences between them at birthdays, weekend overnights, and so forth. They are not excepting him as a grandchild. Will this go away in time or will this always be this way? Thank God they are all under 6 and really don’t really see the differences like we do.
If you welcome one, then welcome them all!
