okay. so i guess my mylot friends won me over. for the sake of the kid. i will go along with the charade that i accept the two of them. the mother sent me a request on facebook to be family. i accepted. she sends me pictures of the kid and i lie and say how cute he is (when that is NOT the case...it's the most funniest looking kid i have ever seen). i also grit my teeth and say how much he looks like my brother in law (HE SO DOES NOT). so, i guess i can live with my self. she asked me again if i could babysit, but it's a no go. my husband won't go for it. she is still not allowed over at our house, nor is the kid (as far as my husband is concerned. he still is not feeling it). i am just representing for the two of us by being fake for the sake of the kid. i am doing it because my oldest kid is not my husbands', but his side of the family treats my son no different. they are is family, too. for the sake of karma, i will be nice.

Sounds like you have it ironed out. I don't know how far I would go telling people something is one way when I didn't really feel it but I guess that's your Karma. SOme people are just down right weird and it is good that your try to be positive with her.

well, like i said. his side of the family accepted my son, even though he is not my husband's so.... i think that i wouldn't want that to be my kid. i only wish that my brother in law knew that wasn't his son, but he will never find out cause he doesn't want to.

Celtic is wise. Let it go. This poor kid is caught in the crossfire. I love kids and honestly, I would not care if the kid were my blood or not. I had 4 children and I am so grateful for all those that showed them love and kindness regardless of bloodline. You have no idea how much that means to a kid. My kids are grown now and still look at certain people as family that are not. It should ALWAYS be about what is best for the child but sadly that is not always the case. I would not reccomend at this point being fake...that is just self-serving. the kindest thing to do would to be to remove yourself from their lives I think. There is another child involved and they are siblings. You clearly favor one over the other. it will cause problems in their family. been there.
In time you will learn to love such kid.I believe that every kid is an angel.@MoonGypsy (4605)
