Here's my question:
With all the step-siblings, step-mothers, step-dads, and then the whole marrying in and out such... at what point do you call the person your brother, you dad, your aunt?
My family, dad's and mom's side, has had a lot of marrying in and out. I have step cousins, step uncles, step aunts, ex-aunts.... etc. My aunt married a guy when I was 6, with two boys. I still call my cousins from that my step cousins and their dad my step uncle. My uncle married a woman last year, I still call his first wife my aunt and his new wife step-aunt. But I like the new wife way better (she's nice! She doesn't look at me like I am a wild child!). Here's the weird thing my dad's sister married the man I call my "step-uncle" the same year as my mom's brother married a woman that I call my aunt. Second marriages for both and I like my step-uncle more than my mom's brother's wife (she's a mean drunk and tells everyone that she's Mexican and when she's drunk she starts to slur her words and tells us that she wasn't accepted into the family because of her ethnicity.).
Anyone else have this issue? I can't be the only one.
