This blog is for me to rant and vent about the issues that surround everyone that is labeled as a "step-mom". As well as other things going on in my life. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there having issues with ex spouses (there is a reason we are not married to them anymore!) And trying to raise children in two very different household.
Oprah had a show on Motherhood and confessions of everyday mothers. It was hillarious! Desperation can be very funny, like the woman who was on a road trip with two sleeping children in the car. She had to go to the bathroom, not wanting to wake them she reached into the diaper bag and without stopping fixed her problem... that is a story only a mother of young children would understand!
The show was very impowering, even the moms that look and act perfect make mistakes. So many of us are trying to look like we are handling everything perfectly, when really we are not. There were many who found that talking with other moms, and being totally honest about how hard it really is to be a mom, found support from other struggling moms. It got me to thinking... if being a mother is the hardest job, what about being a step-mom? I am both and I think being a step mom is the hardest job...by far! I thought if I felt that way, maybe other women in positions like mine might feel the same way. So here I am venting about my frustrations and hoping to get help and support from other "wicked step mom's" I don't have any friends or family that are in the same situations and I do not feel a lot of support or understanding from them. How can they understand, when they don't go through the same things I do? Even my husband, who tries very hard, can't understand or feel the same way I do... he is a MAN after all!
