I’m becoming a grandpa at 43. Mildly infuriating, 'cause there are way worse things in life.

    Am I reading this right? Because I can’t tell if you’re the drug-addicted criminal of a sperm donor or you’re raising a step daughter.

        Ok, thanks! The “can’t tell if you’re the drug addict” was a joke, but I honestly wasn’t sure if it made you the stepdad because I’m an idiot. Thanks for clarifying!

        Wait who’s your daughter? I don’t see a daughter mentioned in your comment above. Sorry, I’m just confused.

        EDIT: wait, I think I got it.

        Your wife had a baby by another man when she was young. He did not serve the role of “father” so you are referring to him as the “sperm donor.” He was into drugs.

        And, postscript: that baby was a girl and you later adopted her.
