Rules I have as a step mum ...
First one she comes first !!!
I've never excluded her in anything
I will wait for her to get back
from her mums and we all do it
together
She calls me Bonnie
NOT mum
she has a mum
I will always make sure her hair
is done & she is loved like my
own
I will go to school events & cheer
for her as loud as I'd cheer for my
own
I coparent for her not for any
adult ! It's all for her
Never been on a holiday without
her and she never miss's out on
anything
She gets to love her dad without
the present of me all the time
( they are going on there first
holiday just daddy & daughter)
in a few weeks for her birthday
My family is her family
They never leave her out
On both sides !!
I become a step mum at 19/20
I'm now 26
I loved her at first sight
No it definitely isn't easy !
But we do it
I will never ever change with her
I will not bow down to anyone
I've been threw everything you
could think of with coparenting
GOOD & BAD
I've been called every name
under the sun
I've been made to feel less then I
am
And still you could never stop
me loving her ever !!!
