We are not really close with any of the steps, everyone was an adult by the time of the remarriage, so I don’t really count them. But I suppose technically I have 14 total, including applicable spouses. All of the steps have kids, I’m not counting them as it’s a pretty silly descriptor to count by the time you get to “step-niece-in-law”. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-in-laws-do-you-have#post-1940779 Wed, 12 Nov 2014 10:57:50 +0000 namaste 1940779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Five from DH's family: MIL, FIL, SMIL, SIL, and (Half?)
