How does everyone deal with being told they are not a mom yet when they are pregnant with their child. I have a step daughter that is my world. She is 18 months. It kills me being told I am not a parent.
I guess because its a lil different when your baby comes. even though you live your step daughter, things are just different with you own child. i have 4 step babies and 4 of my own. i love my step kids to heaven and back and would do anything for them, but its still not the same as growing a baby in your tummy for 9 months and going through labor and seeing them for the first time.
I'm not a step parent but i def feel like im already my son's mother. Obvi, things will take a step forward into the realities of being a mother to my child outside of my body, but from day one, I've already considered myself a mother. A parent. It started immediately for me 💖
