They deserve love, so much love, and if that is what they get from you, how could I ever be mad?\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>It\u2019s impossible for me to hate someone that is loving my children and working towards giving them a happy and fulfilled life.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Because that is what\u2019s important to me.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>And if my kids matter to me, that means you matter to me.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>xoxo\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>Dear Step Mom,\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>You were never part of the plan.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I never dreamed of a day that someone else would mother my kids. I\u2019m sure you didn\u2019t either.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I\u2019m sure in your dreams you met a man, fell in love, and made beautiful babies together. But instead you have mine. That can\u2019t be easy.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>It can\u2019t be easy for you to look at them and sometimes see me.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>It can\u2019t be easy knowing someone shares something so special with your husband.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>It can\u2019t be easy feeling like second best sometimes.\n<h4><span style='\"font-size:' color:>Dear Step Mom\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>I get it. I want you to know that I get it. I understand how arduous your roll as step mom must be.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>You are making a choice everyday to wake up and parent kids that aren\u2019t yours. To cook for them, to hug them, to read to them, to make them giggle, to teach them things I can\u2019t.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>That fact is not lost on me. I can\u2019t look at you and not clearly see the burden you have accepted.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>Being a mother for the last decade has taught me many things and has opened my eyes to all of my faults. I know first hand that kids are exhausting and unrelenting. I know there are days you think you can\u2019t take another minute.\n<p><span style='\"font-size:'>So I am grateful to you for being patient and loving in those moments. I\u2019m ever thankful for you showing up day after day, fit after fit, mess after mess. For not walking out the door on the tough days because I know there are many.\n<p>&nbsp;\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>A Letter To My Kids Stepmom Thank you for loving my children.
