2 min readDiary of a Wicked (awesome) Stepmother: I See YouI wrote this poem a while ago & wanted to share with my fellow WICKED AWESOME STEPMAMAS... I see you!I See YouWritten By: Ashley-NicholeTo all the moms who aren’t "real moms,"I see you.To the ones who make sure dinner is on the table and houses are clean,I see you.To the ones who stock the pantry with favorite snack and beverage flavors,I see you.To the ones who patiently listen and offer a friendly ear without judgement,I see youTo the ones who ensure there are princess and superhero Bandaids in the first aid kit,I see you.To the ones who stay up late helping to finish homework,I see you.To the ones who hot glue themselves into third degree burns for a class project,I see you.To the ones who play dress up and wear funny hair and makeup,I see you.To the ones who tell bedtime stories with character voices and sound effects,I see you.To the ones who spend their money on pink drinks, Beanie Boos and legos,I see you.To the ones who remember to pack the sunscreen and bug spray,I see you.To the ones who sit at the kids table instead of with the other adults,I see you.To the ones who do the laundry, fold the clothes and put them away,I see you.To the ones who don’t mind being silly and weird just for a laugh,I see you.To the ones who stop what they are doing to help reach something off the top shelf,I see you.To the ones who show up only to be ignored,I see you.To the ones who wipe away tears and freely give hugs and pats on the back,I see you.To the ones who tread the line between giving advice and not overstepping,I see you.To the ones who are the cheering the loudest in the stands,I see you.To the ones who drive a forgotten important something to the school,I see you.To the ones who rush around to find an item that no-one else could seem to find,I see you.To the ones who forgo a ladies night out to stay at home to play board games,I see you.To the ones who are raising children who aren’t their own, but love them as if they were,I see you.To all the moms who aren't "real moms",because they are so much more,I see you.
