So people talk about how hard it is raising children.  I want to say try raising someone else's.  But I can't.  My husband has full legal and physical custody of his 3 and 4 year old children.  Their mother has supervised visitation every other weekend with the approval of their grandmother.  In other words,  bio-mom gets to be the fun mom while I have to be responsible mom with no credit.  She pays $180 a month while I went in debt before my husband and I were even married because I saw that they needed clothes.  I lost 3 1/2 weeks of work last year not counting 9 days of my 10 day vacatio

I was unable to carry children of my own and now am blessed with 2 step children.  I have been part of our children’s life’s since they were 2 and 3.  They call me Momma and have very little contact with their biological mother but still go to their Granny’s house every other weekend which gives their dad and I time. But I must admit it cuts me so deep that the kids look nothing like me.  I can’t seem to get over it when everyone comments on how beautiful their eyes are especially when people ask where do they get those eyes from.  I can’t help how I feel.
