Dear Queenie,
Our daughter and her children have moved in with a man who also has children of his own. If they were married we would treat his kids like our own grandchildren, but we hardly know this man and his kids and we have no idea how long this relationship will last.
Queenie, what do you suggest?—(Grand)Parents trying to be fair
Dear (Grand)Parents,
By all means treat this man’s children the same way you treat your own grandchildren as long as their parents are together – and, for all the children’s sake, pray that their parents’ relationship becomes permanent, or at least lasts until they have all grown up.
