step-mum feeling a little sad today! aibu?

[Fluffydeville]

I don't know if step-mum's generally get any recognition today, just a card or a text would be nice I guess, my DSD is 15 and we have a great relationship this is my first mothers day officially as a step-mum since DH and I got married last year. For fathers day I took DSD shopping and bought gifts for her for both my husband and her stepdad, just feel like I am the only one getting left out here, a little acknowledgement would mean the world. am i being over-sensitive and un-reasonable?

Just to clarify, my post was regarding step parents who aren't doing the majority of the child care, specifically those who see their step children at weekends or similar. I totally agree that a step parent who is 'step' only in biology as it were is a special case, although I would be surprised if they accounted for more than a minority of cases.
