I also think that there is a huge difference between taking over as a mom and doing motherly tasks. Great feedback and point of view.

As someone who gained a stepmom at age 16, with a younger brother who gained one at 13, i can say without a doubt that if my stemom had tried to "act like a mother", when my own mother was the one I lived with, and was fully functional, I would have had some major issues. Perhaps it needs to be said that acting like a hostess is not a good idea either, but there has to be some sort of happy medium.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18306342511735904305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3457950631635966154.post-44983231089741555042009-06-08T15:27:49.952-05:002009-06-08T15:27:49.952-05:00Samara,

Sometimes we don't wish "getting it" on anyone, but always, when it comes to us, it is priceless. <br /><br />I am sure there are women out there who find your blog to be a great dose of "getting it". Published or blogged, your writing makes a difference!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11911197321063074394noreply@blogger.com
