What’s the difference?

For the non-native English speakers out there:

Step-family has to do with a spouse who has children from a previous partnership:

• My father’s new wife is my step-mother (belle-mère) and I am her step-daughter (belle-fille)
• My step-mother’s son is my step-brother (beau-frère) and I am his step-sister (belle-sœur)
• A child born to my father and step-mother is my half-brother (demi-frère) or half-sister (demi-sœur)
• My new husband’s daughter is my step-daughter (belle-fille) and I am her step-mother (belle-mère)

Family-in-law is your spouse’s family and the family of your sibling’s spouse:

• My husband’s mother is my mother-in-law (belle-mère) and I am her daughter-in-law (belle-fille or bru)
• My husband’s brother is my brother-in-law (beau-frère) and I am his sister-in-law (belle-sœur)
• My sister’s husband is my brother-in-law (beau-frère) and I am his sister-in-law (belle-sœur)
• My son’s wife is my daughter-in-law (belle-fille or bru) and I am her mother-in-law (belle-mère)
