This is a bit of a weird one but my partner and I have been together for a long time and we have a child at school. Our parents (my dad and my partners mum) started dating 2 years ago and they just got married. At first I was shocked that they were together and I really didn't like the idea that my partner was now my stepbrother but they were happy together. However, now that they are married our child is getting horrendously bullied at school due to her father and I now being technically step siblings. She is being called inbred and saying how gross it is that her parents are incest etc (even though I know we're not) I have no idea what to do...we didn't plan it out this way, I had no idea my dad and his mum would get together...I feel terrible :(

I would be organising a meeting with school principal, teachers and your self explain the situation and finding out their bulling policies and what theu can offer to suport your child. They should be taking this very seriously.
Yes that is a little weird lol but good on you and your partners parents lol I had to re read your title a couple times haha!
Ok, In all seriousness, this is not cool! the bullying I mean! Definetly go into the school, (Me personally, I would get my kid to point out the bully/ies and talk to them myself, calmly)
If its really bad, get your parents to come to the school too and explain to the kids that none of you are related, bit too far maybe, but I would, lol
Talk to the teacher/s and principal. Ask if your child wants to move school because of the bullying too?
Start with the class teacher and the school principle.
