The Thoughts of a Step-Mom - Intro

I suppose there are a lot of us out there doing this, I don't for see there being a lot of followers to my blog, but one of the suggestions I have received is to put my thoughts, frustrations and successes down. I am starting to see this is great advice, more because my poor mom gets dumped on about once a week, if I don't start doing this I may make my mom think I live the most bitter angry life, but you can't dump a lot of these thoughts out in to the family - we are all adjusting.

Being a step-mom IS a struggle, if you are a mom and think you have the most thankless job out there I really think that us step-mom's can top you. For those of us who are step-moms and have no children of our own, it can be a frustrating trip of raising children that you care very deeply for, raising them, working hard to make sure you are trying to do what is best for them . . . . . but you are somewhere on the bottom of the totem poll below the crossing-guard at their school when it comes to recognition.

For this blog, to protect the innocent (and the guilty) I will either not use names or use false names.

I suppose we will see where this goes from here.
