Never thought of calling 'step' children 'bonuschildren'. How would that make my own feel...like they are burdenchildren?

Quite frankly they were all a pain. :D
I'm sooooo politically incorrect. I should not be allowed out in public.

****ing Bonusparents? BonusChildren?

Mommy," Oh honey, I'm sorry daddy shot himself in the head but look what I brought home for you! :D "

What a twisted article.

Well, this thread finally got the better of my curiosity. Nothing that a beer float won't fix, though.

Where do all these dumbasses come from? Not you, guys. I'm referring to the author. Of the link!

Never thought of calling 'step' children 'bonuschildren'. How would that make my own feel...like they are burdenchildren?I HATE the term "step-child"!!:flame: Either he's your son or he isn't, either she's your daughter or she isn't. My wife's grandfather had two kids who were fathered by his wife first husband, but if you ever called them his step-children, prepare to get your ass handed to you on a plate.:thumb:

I HATE the term "step-child"!!:flame: I agree. We never used the term either...never felt that way. Unfortunately, on occasion, it is said for reference only, but it sounds alien.

I think 'bonuschildren' is just plain stupid. I don't want any bonuschildren, I have enough.
