Today is my step-daughter's birthday. My husband and I invited them over for dinner and birthday cake. On my children's birthdays, I remember them when they were little and the things they have done growing up. With step-children, it's different. You have to relate to them without that foundation, and sometimes it's hard.
On the one hand, I don't want my husband to ever feel his daughter is unloved or unwelcome here. I felt that way with my step-mother, all my life. I don't want that to happen with us.
So I have been cleaning, and I baked a cake and laid out the ingredients for dinner. I hope they feel comfortable here.
