Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

Can't they just say stepson? It is still pretty funny tbh
Yeah, it definitely sounds like they're going for the "my wife's boyfriend" meme.
They could just say "son" too, but that might depend more on their relationship.
Stepson might involve some kind of adoption, or, I don’t know… My dad remarried when I was in my late teens, but I didn’t see him much. His wife has never been referred to as my stepmom, etc, but my situation might be different due to a lack of closeness. The OP clearly has some kind of relationship with the kid since they are going to pick them up, but I can see how they might not have that kind of label.
Stepchildren don't have to be adopted to be considered stepchildren.
