Do you classify your family relations? As in my sister you define her by sister-in-law, my stepson instead of just sister and son.

So my grandmother(in-law) and aunt(in-law) have made it abundantly clear that I am my husbands wife and my children from a previous relationship are not his biologically. Comments and Introductions like this is SO wife and her children. SO only has one child. (I'm pregnant). This is my nephew and my neice- in-law and things along those lines. While I can say it doesn't feel malicious, just a distinction they use to classify certain parts of the family. But I've noticed it's only me they do this too. No one else in the family does it but them. I don't know if it's a racial thing (we're interracial), a religious thing (they are all mormon except my husband and I) or something else. But It has gotten to a point that your not going to keep hurting my kids feelings or pointing it out at this point that we're not blood. We've been married two years, together for 6 and OUR kids are now 12 and 8 and one on the way.

Me being me has banned them both from my house, family functions we throw, etc and now the hospital until they get there shit together. My husband is also tired of their bull. And constantly says no those are my kids and your family. Of course they are now both causing drama over this and whining and bitching about how I'm treating them deplorable.

I just wasn't raised that way. While I know I have half siblings biologically, to me they aren't my half siblings. They are my siblings. Same goes for some of my family friends, step, god, etc. They are my family period open arms there is no distinction.
