Ok I’ll start by saying I’m pregnant and probably more sensitive than “normal”. I’m a mother and a stepmom. I have two stepsons, 16 years and 10 years old and Hubby’s and my 2 year old daughter. I have been a stepmom for 6 years and been very hands on and involved with my stepsons from the beginning. Often times being “mom” when the boys moms (each boy has a different mom) have been MIA or refusing to take their son on their weekends. So it’s surprising that of all the weekends they want to see them is on Mother’s Day weekend. The 10 years old still does the crafts at school and usually I have gotten them in the past years for Mother’s Day because he felt like I was the mom he wanted to give it to. I never forced the issue. But this year he is giving it to her. I guess it just bothered me a smidge because his father and I do 100% of everything - and have been for 6 years (she lives an hour away and older sons mom lives 3 hours away). After he told me he was giving it to her he asked me if I was sad about it. I had to lie and tell him it didn’t make me sad. Anyway I know it’s not about the stuff kids make at school or whatever and of course my Mother’s Day will still be amazing. I guess I just needed to vent. Makes me feel like being there 100% of the time doesn’t matter and her taking him like 3 weekends out of the year makes her mother of year. (Her doing, not ours)
