We are a blended family one big challenge but a blessing . My 9 year old daughter and 11 year old son I been only raising for 3 years but everyday we get closer .. my daughter I had in a previous relationship is 9 also .. I raised her as single mom since day 1 .. So it's sad my step kids real mom is on drugs somewhere she calls them every now and then .. my husband has full custody . So when I saying overwhelmed there is more then just 4 kids .. its 2 broken families that came together 3 years ago and now we had our first new baby together . I'm 28 and doing my best to be the best mom to every kid in the house.
