Should step mothers be celebrated on Mother's Day?

Question

Answer

Yes, they should be celebrated. They are raising and loving kids that they have no obligation to, and sometimes they do it better than the bio mother.

Answer

I think all deserving mothers or people who do the job of a mother should be celebrated today. 😊

Answer

It depends on the relationship. Did they mother your children? Do the kids consider her a mother?

It's really very simple. Ask the kids if they want to get her something. If they don't consider her to be a mother-figure then they'll say no.

Now the partner to the step-mother can ask themselves if they want to get something. Do you think she is mothering your children and a good mother-figure? Get her something and say thank you for it.

It really just depends how you want to celebrate it. Some spouses probably don't get anything for the mother of their child or the person raising their kid. Some kids even send thank you things to their grand mother so like I said, it's flexible do what you want.

Answer

Depends on relationship.

My brother and I didn't do anything for my dad's long time girlfriend (15+ years so she was basically a stepmom) but we also always spent the day with mom so we didn't see stepmom.

I always do stuff for my stepfather because he's really a second father to me ever since my dad died, his biodaughter doesn't do anything for him, and he's been in my life since I was like 3.

Answer

Just because they didn't squeeze he child out of their hooha doesn't make them any less of a mother.

Answer

Yes. If they do motherly duties then of course.

Answer

Definitely depends on the relationship.

My stepmother did nowhere near as much work as my mother. I appreciate her for the stuff she does do, but yes not comparable at all for me.

Answer

Depends. I'm 18 and my parents have been separated since I was 14. My dad could meet the nicest woman in the world and I could love her to death. I still wouldn't celebrate mothers day for her. Just for my mom. Same goes for Father's Day and my mom's partner.

Answer

Depends on the relationship for sure.

Answer

Depends on the relationship. When I had a step mom, she was abusive towards me and my brother. I lived in an abusive household period. So I didn't see her fit as a mother..
