To put daughters name on bracelet

[LoreleiGilmorethesecond]

Probably the wrong place, but I want the traffic.

I'm step mum and want to buy mum a bracelet from us and her daughter for Xmas.
It needs a name on it.
Is it correct to put DSD name and birth stone, or should it be step mums.

OP said that she is good friends with her DSD's mum. So that's why she's choosing the gift, I imagine?

Me and her mother are very good friends, I want to do something nice for my friend and also for her daughter- who is too young to purchase this gift herself.

Why can't a stepmother just do something nice for the mother? Not all of us are bitter and sour about it. I wouldn't have it any other way!

I agree lorelei, one of the worst things about being a stepparent for me is I can't be that way with the kids mother.

My parents set a good example to me growing up (that all the adults got on even if it was complicated) so as an adult in similar circumstances I was quite surprised that I couldn't even have contact with their mother never mind be friendly with her.

Obviously though I have to respect that that is the way she wants it.

It doesn't matter now anyway the kids are adults now!

That's such a shame Ginkypig

Sorry fat fingers-

It's such a shame!

By no means was it like this in the beginning but we took the time to get to know each other and it took a few huge leaps of faith to get to a place where we both decided there was no need to both be a pair of prats.
We then discovered we are extremely similar, same tastes and dislikes etc. Was quite strange at one strange to be honest, and I did think wow my husband just went for someone the same as her!
But then after getting to know her, her family etc, I am much more suited to him. And she's found a great guy who is good with DSD too, and it's worked out very well!
I can't have anymore kids, so now I have the big family I always wanted, and so much support from her and her mother. It's worked out like a daytime Hallmark movie.

It's probably very sickening to those who don't "get it". We've had a couple of remarks but who gives a shit. We put the effort in and so far it's paid off!

You sound lovely. Very thoughtful gift.

I decided on DSD first initial and birthstone charms on it.
I am sure she will like. I agree I wouldn't wear my name on it or the child's full name.
Hopefully the "subtle" initial will come across as a tasteful token of dsds love for her mum.
