explaining step-familys to small children
My soon to be ss is almost 4, and recently he's been asking why he has two mommys and why mommy#1 (B-m) has soo many guy friends but daddy and mommy#2(me) are getting married. I don't know how to explain to him. He asked me how many mommys and daddys I had one time. I'm afraid when he enrolls in preschool or elementry that he will see these regular familys, and be intimidated or upset. His b-m and my f-h where never married infact he was only 17 and she was 21 when he was born.....she ran as soon as she found out she was pregnant because she wasn't sure who the father was...when ss was a year old she contacted him to tell him she thought it may be his, and after a dna test it showed he was the father, of course he fought for custody and to this day is still trying, but I don't see it happening until ss is old enough to decide on his own, and you can never tell what will happen there, ofcourse in Wv the mother always gets custody no matter what the circumstances usually. Okay back to the point of this....how should I try and explain to him families, and why he has two mommys and why me and his daddy are together. Does anyone think this will affect him threw life?
