That's pretty creepy getting a new step-parent so soon. I'm glad I got to meet and got to know both sets of step-parents (in fact, Gary and mum were together for years before they got married) so there's less freaking out about the whole extra family thing. Sadly, mum and Gary did elope, so I couldn't be bridesmaid like I was going to be, and I only got to meet his family after I moved over there.
What's weird now is that I am younger than three of my boyfriend's children (one by only a month, so no matter). And the eldest just had twins with his fiancee so technically a grandmother here. :P
aww, thanks hana :) wow, it's been forever since i've responded to anything you've posted (but that doesn't mean i haven't been reading ;) :) ) anyhoo, yeah it is weird/creepy but in the end i have no real say over any of it, so oh well. i just wish she'd have at least considered all of my family's concerns/recommendations instead of saying that marriage is only about the couple...and i agree, but not when you have an actual ceremony...i donno. it's still a slightly sore subject i guess :p
but jeez, i bet it's weird for you being so close in age to your boyfriend's kids and now basically a grandma....or not. i hope everyone's ok with things and that it's not really weird. :) thanks for commenting. it was good to hear from you :)
i hope you get time to spend with your mom and gary when they come down :) that'd be nice, i'm sure.
It's okay, I'm pretty slack sometimes on check my friend's journals. Part of it is that a lot of you are only posting rarely, if at all, so I don't even bother to check for weeks at a time. And even then, I don't always have something to say, so I don't leave a comment even acknowledging that I have read it. Slack, oy
