What is a step parent or step grandparent? It is someone who marries some one who already has children and grandchildren. But in all reality, what is really a STEP parent or STEP grandparent. To me the word STEP mean walking up stairs. They are called STEPs. or a STEP that you walk up on, like a store, that has a STEP in it and there is a sign that says watch your step. That is what it means to me. To me there is no such thing a STEP parent or STEP grandparent. It is just a PARENT and GRANDPARENT. Yes I married a man who had to children. I consider them my own children. They are not my STEP children, they are my children. And now they have children and I am those children grandparent. NO they are not blood, but I dont care. And neither do they. There are other children out there that refers to me as a grandparent and they are not blood. To me a parent is someone who loves those children as their own and a grandparent is someone who loves those childrens children as their own grandchild. I know my husband feels the same as I do. So for those out there who has married someone who has children and those children has children and they want to call you grandma or grandpa. Let them do it. Dont let any one tell you, you have NO right to consider them your grandchildren. You do have that right. Even though you are NOT blood doesnt matter. You are there for those children and grandchildren. That is what matters. There are alot of people out there that feels like we as STEP parents and STEP grandparents dont have any right to have those children call us STEP parents MOM or DAD and STEP grandparents be called GRANDPA or GRANDMA. I am sorry that you feel that way. I feel privilaged that I have children refer to me as their grandparent. It makes me feel special and loved. I do love all my grandchildren. STEP and BLOOD. To me it does not matter if we are blood or not. If they want to call me there grandparent then they can. It makes me feel good. There is to much hate going on in this world. Lets all try and make it better by adopting children into our familys and refering to ourselves as grandparents for some child that doesnt have a grandparent that they dont know or see. Be there for that child and give them comfort and love. Or that child that doesnt have a parent to love and hold them. Be there for them as a parent. You dont have to be BLOOD to love a child and refer to them as your child. ITs CALLED LOVE PEOPLE. Lets all give it this Holiday Season.
