Another added: “I thought that was your actual son and was like you had him at 11?

When one viewer asked: “I don’t get what you mean by bonus son. Could you explain it? I am new to your videos and love them by the way. Sorry if this upsets you,” she happily answered.

“I am not offended, I being asked love questions,” she said.

“Being a bonus mother is earned, the stepmother is just someone who marries the dad.”

“Oh, I like that, bonus mum has a good ring to it,” one person said.

“I was so curious. Glad to get this answered,” said another.

“Bonus son/mum is a nicer term than saying stepson or stepmum,” commented a third.
