[thanksgivingmom]

I have a question that I want to pose in the most non-threatening, non-offending, non-attacking way possible. I promise.

I understand that it irritates some parents when bparents refer to the child as "my son" or "my daughter."

I guess my thing is I don't know what else to say. Bdaughter feels wrong. It makes me want to cry for days. Just typing it makes me want to cry right now (I'm not usually quite this emotional.)

Ex. I have a picture in my office of DD, and I am actually pretty terrified of the first time someone asks who that beautiful little baby is. Instinct says to say "My daughter" and then explain that she has another Mom.

What would you as the parents LIKE to hear? I completely realize that DD is someone elses daughter, but somehow I can't feel like shes less mine....

I'm sorry if anyone finds this offensive. Truly sorry.
