I'm a stepdad to my girlfriend's 6 year old. I've been in his life full time since he was like 2 years old, so for extensively his whole life. Granted, my stutter is normally on the more mild side, but there have been a few times he's innocently mocked my stutter - not to be mean or anything, but just because he's a kid parroting what he hears. Anytime he has my girlfriend has been quick to tell him not to. A couple times he's asked why I say the same sound over and over, and we've just tried to explain it's something I can't help, and I always have. He's a great kid, and has never really thought twice about it, but there have been plenty of times I feel like I can't be quite the parent I want to be because of my stutter. Reading outloud is something I've always struggled with, so I just can't really do things like read to him (especially because he has ADHD, and interrupts constantly, making it even harder), and sometimes I feel like I can't communicate to him effectively because if he stops paying attention, and I have to repeat myself, I hardly ever feel like I'm able to articulate the way I'd want to. He doesn't really seem to have picked it up from me, which I'm grateful for, but I also try to avoid stuttering around him all together so it's less of a potential reality. We'll see how it goes once he's old enough to have a real attitude and the teen angst to want to be mean though lmao
