Mine didn't. He was more interested in picking an arguement with me, in which he lost. So now he is in his own sorrow. This kid does not realize that I was his age once, and I too, can challenge him at every level where he will not win.
So, did I have my mothers day? YES!, It was him why I became one in the first place. |

| My teens remembered after ther sweet father reminded them. No biggie for me though. I'd rather be honored everyday than just one day, and my kids do honor me more days than not. |

Baby woke me at 7 am...there went my sleeping in, I got up and got dressed to go to the grocery store and my teen wanted to go with me. He had earned $10 and he had spent $6 friday, I was shocked he wanted to go to the store.
He went to buy me a card. He wanted to get me flowers also but was sad that he didn't have enough. So he extra helped out in the house today and took me to have desert after my husband cooked me fajitas. I felt down for a while because my son lives with his Dad.
My hubby just gave me a 30 minute back rub, so it made me feel better :) |

After skimming thru your write up Lexi, I realized that my family is OK.
With my step kids, I never involved myself. Everything was decided between their mother and father. Right or wrong it was their decision and not mine. When they came to visit, they needed to respect "our" rules. All children try to pin one parent against the other. Don't buy into it. Stand your ground, and have them respect you. If they don't respect you, your hubby needs to step up to the plate and request that of them to have for you. |

I am reminded everyday that I am a mom. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad, but I don't regret it ever.
Lexi,
I really wish your hubby would stand up to his daughter and not let her treat you (or him) this way. Divorce is not easy for anyone (children or adults), but she needs to learn that you are all family now and her actions are not acceptable.

| Happy Late Mother's day.. Mine was wonderful. I spent the day at the lake with me 80 year old mom and when I returned home my 16 year old daughter had cleaned the house, done the laundry and had beautiful candles lit throughout the house. My 21 year old son, that is off at college, called and sang to me haha, so i have no complaints. I feel for those that are struggling. I teach school so I hear about the trials many are going through. Raising children is the toughest job in the world, but through all the ups and downs try and remember what a true blessing it is to be a mom. |
