[quote=Anonymous]I'm a mother of 2 who, growing up, had step-mothers. It's real easy to favor the step mom because she's not the disciplinarian. (This goes on now between me and DH. I'm the bad guy bc I'm firm. Same concept. But I digress.) Of course kids have more "fun" with steps! Mine was like Mary Poppins and young and pretty and let me play with her make up and took us to the park. My mom was grumpy all the damn time bc she was a single mom and tired and hated how her life turned out. I think you should find a way to help your step daughter honor and appreciate her mother. You know this deep down. It would be a true gift to the daughter for you, an adult whom she admires, to help her see the best in her mother and encourage her to do activities together. [/quote]
