I don't understand why people get so literal about terms on here. I refer to my family on here the way that I refer to them in real life. I haven't adopted my SD, but I still call her my daughter in real life, in front of her, and she is fine with it. I don't see why people get so rude about it. 

The way that people react to me not using the "technically correct" terms has made it so I make sure to not come here if I'm stressed, or mad, or upset because the things people say...
