There a lot of step moms that shouldn't even be given that title as they still treat the child as someone else's. It sounds like you are doing an amazing job. *wiping away tears*Dawn Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384482902383273867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-83995894561612427.post-38800980423402675082009-08-14T10:51:12.192-04:002009-08-14T10:51:12.192-04:00What a great mommy you are!

It's so easy at times to focus on the attitude and skip over the reasons for the attitude.
