I have noticed this alot lately. Like stepmoms or even just women that live with the father of a child wanting to call the child 'my son' or 'my daughter'. I understand if the mom has completely checked out of the child's life, but what about in other circumstances.
Example....On facebook I have seen a woman talking about the elementary age child of her boyfriend (they have been together a year i think) 'my son.' She will talk about him in her status updates and say things like 'My son amazes me. I can't believe how much he has grown.'
Another woman I know had a baby live with her for a few weeks while the mother was trying to find a home. She wanted to adopt the baby so even after the mother took the baby back, she talks about the baby as 'my son.' She posts pics of him and says 'mommy misses you.'
Am I the only one thinking these women are off the deep end?!?
