StepMums Imposter Syndrome

July 5, 20191 Comment

We've all been there - whether it's the Sainsbury's cashier or a kids party host, people will constantly make the assumption that you are Mum.

May 27, 2018Leave a comment

For the first few years of my relationship with my partner and Monster, I (intentionally and willingly) made almost everything about them, they were pretty much the only people on my priority list.
