When I was younger, about 14 years old. I always dreamed about what my family was going to look like. Would I have all boys? Would I have all girls? Would they look like me? Would they look like their dad?
Back then I thought “I’d never date anyone with children”. It wasn’t my dream to be a step parent to someone else’s children. You always see on movies about how terrible step kids treat their step parents. Yelling “you’re not my mom” and “you can’t tell me what to do”. Then the kids try everything in their power to get their parents back together by turning the step parent against their partner aka the biological parent.
For some people, being a step mom is all the want. Other people can’t imagine helping raise another woman’s kid. Not only did you have to worry about building a relationship with the kids but you have to worry about building a relationship with the ex. You have to have a damn strong head on your shoulders to go through building a relationship with other people on the picture other than your partner (like in a normal relationship).
I didn’t start this blog to bash anyone. I started this to help people through rough times and tell my story because it isn’t all rainbows and butterflies like some people make it out to be.
So sit tight and follow my story about what I have been through the past couple years!
