"Evil" Step Moms

Everyone has seen the movies with the "evil step-moms", when you were little it was just a movie and you didn't really understand what "evil" or "step-mom" really even meant! Now being engaged to someone who has 3 other kids the words "evil step-mom" is pretty offensive. I would never consider them my "step kids" I know that might sound very strange but I love them just as much I love my own child. They mean the world to me just like my own child. No I'm nit saying that it is always super easy to be the step parent, because its not. It comes with challenges just like everything else. I would never ever try to take their mothers place, that is their mother and I would never over step my bounds. As a step parent you get to love them in a different way. Sometimes you get to be their "go to" parent, which can be an amazing or horrible thing. Sometimes it takes them a little bit longer for them to open up to you, and that's okay. Just remember this is just as new to them as it is for you! Now I wont lie to you, its hard sometimes, really REALLY hard but so worth it in the end. I am sure every once in a while you will get that "I don't need to listen to you because you aren't my mom." Does that hurt your feelings well of course! Give them sometime to cool off and talk to them about it. I know at the start of things you are struggling and trying to figure out how to get them to open up to you. Here's a few little helpful hints!

1. Don't try to be their mother right off the bat. (Give them time, they will come around at some point)

2. Let them know you love them! Show them that you love them!

3. Unconditional love is always something everyone should know.

4. Be there for them when they need someone.

5. Never give up trying to be their step mom.

It's not easy, being a mom or step mom is never easy but at the end of the day it is rewarding and I truly wouldn't want it any other way! I love all my kids. They are my world and mean more to me than words could ever tell. Keep going step moms one day we won't be seen as the "Evil Step-moms."

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
