释义 | stepchildren plural ofstepchild Examples of stepchildrenstepchildren In two of these cases, previously childless women acquired stepchildren in late life. Some respondents may also have reported stepchildren and adopted children as their own children in one survey and then left them out in the other. Four of these former stepchildren, however, remembered feeling differently from their parents, sensing an independent need to be in touch. There were, nevertheless, three exceptions among our stepchildren which hint at the potential gains which other children missed. And it is notable that in their teenage years several stepchildren found a special resource in a relative who was not actually living with them. He has since provided shelter and security for his wife and three stepchildren. Again and again it seems from the memories of our stepchildren that the intervention of relatives was felt as strongly positive. This was strikingly indicated, for example, when we came to interpret the interviews which we recorded with our stepchildren sample. Older partners may be unsure about how to relate to married stepchildren and their families, even though they are part and parcel of the relationship with the new partner. Six years later a second, mutual will was filed at the court, saying that she and the stepchildren should have one-third of the entire estate if he died first. When seen ' from the top ', the effects may be different, because the parent may acquire stepchildren or new biological children, and may be supported by a wider range of relations. These fears were particularly strong where there were no children to be relied upon, or when there were stepchildren, or when distant relatives were perceived as hostile. Stepchildren from an earlier marriage of the respondent's husband (who actually lived nearer) were not counted as children at the start of the study. I have some sympathy, though, with the point made about stepchildren, which may be a point of some contention in the implementation of the change.
