Yesterday was obviously Mother’s Day here in the US I have my own children and step. I was lucky enough to spend it with both!

My sons dad and stepmom have been staying at Children’s Hospital with their 1mo son so I have been having extra time with my son (which I love!) anyways I completely spaced the fact that obviously his dad didn’t have time to take him shopping for a Mother’s Day present for his stepmom. So last second yesterday I go “oh my god did you make something for your Mel at school also??” And he said “yes at school they make sure us kids with two moms make one for our real mom and our stepmom” (I was super relieved other wise I would have run his little butt to the store) at that point my stepdaughter decided to put in her two cents and say “well my mom said it stepmoms don’t count so I only had to give her something I don’t have to make anything for stepmoms”

Mind you she saying this and her mom just got remarried last year so does her husband not count now when it comes to Father’s Day??? Like who teaches their kids this stuff?? Like I’m not even saying I’m her mom I don’t personally expect anything from her but I feel like it is EXTREMELY hurtful to hear especially when I do everything I can for her! I am a stay at home mom so I know I don’t financially provide for her anymore like I didn’t when I was actually working. I didn’t necessarily ‘provide’ for her but if I bought my kids things or took them on outings I’d buy her stuff or take her with us. (You get the gist of what I’m saying)
