As a bmum I am tired of people going on about children being confused about the caregivers in their lives. If children get confused about bmum and amum then we should not be inflicting step parents onto children! Do children get confused about step parents and their birth parents??? Do children who get bought up by a grandparent and are told that they are the grandparents, they're not confused as to who is in charge, as to who is doing the parenting. Children are not dumb...I think that is simply old fashioned thinking that has been dragged into this century and I wish it would go away! I don't believe children get confused - they may be sad that the mother who gave birth to them is not doing the day to day chores but they will know who the primary care giver is. In many cultures grandparents and extended family members still live together and the whole family takes part in a child's upbringing. I'm sure children are not confused in that situation - just happy to have so many people in their lives that care about them and love them. Just my opinion!
