Everyone always says that being mum/parent is the hardest thing you will ever do, but also the most rewarding. I disagree, I feel that parenting my children comes naturally, yes they drive me going the twist and yes I could lock myself in the bathroom at times but I wouldn't change it for the world. But once they've been in bed for an hour or two and I finally put my feet up I look forward to doing it all again in the morning. Step-parenting however is another story completely. I feel that being a step-mum is much much much harder. Even though it's not full time and not fully my responsibility. I don't even know where to begin with what I am feeling just now. I guess I just needed to start somewhere in the hope that I could carry on and deal with/acknowledge some of these feelings. I'm feel ready to break down completely at times.
