stepdaughter

That does a heart good to read. Thank you for sharing it with us.

what a wonderful thing to have done you must be so very proud and your step daughter sounds like a darling ,you must have been a lovely mum to all your children

What a beautiful message. My stepdaughter always messsges me privately on Mother's Day so as not to upset her real mum.

That’s lovely what sweet words. We bought our gd up along with our d(she’s not her mum). Always buys me a card and pressie on mother’s day. Tells me how much she loves me, grandad and auntie how much she loves us.

Congratulations ,that is lovely Sandye.

How lovely! I have been co-caring for my stepson since he was 13, he’s not 27. Not even a text message to wish me a nice day but a gushing post on FB to his mostly absent mother!! Grrrrr!

That has made me well up. When you read of so much angst and difficulty in families, it's wonderful to see that there is a great, loving relationship that has worked so well between you and this happy, good hearted woman. You must both be lovely people. x

How lovely to receive such a heartfelt message.

Bless her. What a darling. And you must be a great mother for her to have written that.

Reading that has made my day. All the evil in the world is balanced by the good.

How lovely.

How very special. You must be two lovely people.
These heart warming posts lift all of our spirits.

May I just say I too am one of the lucky ones with a bonus son who is quite definitely my son, and now he has found himself a lovely girl who is the perfect DIL!

They seem to be thin on the ground these days, so she really does deserve MIL blowing her (DIL's) trumpet.

How lovely. How I wish all stepdaughters could be as kind. (sigh)

I have a stepson who is just 8 years younger than me and my dh is 15 years older than me! I adore my stepson and I know he loves me, we have a wonderful relationship, a great friendship and mutual affection. He lives in Australia though and when i jokingly remind him its UK mothers day, he always relies "Ah yes, but I am not in the UK"! When it is Australian mothers day and I remind him, he replies "Ah yes, but you are not in Australia"!!! One of these mothers days he will do something spectacular and that will really wory me lol!

what a delightful message, you and she must both be lovely ladies !

Just wonderful!You and your stepdaughter are lucky to have each other.

I agree with the other posts. A message straight from the heart and, in these days of fractured families and relationships, doesn't it do the heart good to hear such stories.

What a lovely message.
Well done all stepmothers who have loved their partner’s (and others sometimes) children as their own.

My DD married a man 15 years older than her and he has a daughter just 8 years younger than my DD. On Mother’s Day DD too had the most beautiful card from her step daughter, saying the same, how much she loves her and how happy she is that DD is in her life, how happy she makes her Dad etc It truly was so touching.

Sandye, you must be a truly lovely lady! Your post restores my faith in human nature. Your (step) daughter sounds like an amazing , considerate lady too.

My step daughter put in her card " I'm so glad that your my mum"
That might sound disrespectful to her birth mother, but if you knew the back story you would understand.

What a lovely person your stepdaughter must be.

That’s lovely ?

That's lovely - words can mean so much coming from the heart like that
