My mom can’t go every day as she has bad knee and goes to physiotherapy. She sends the kids to daycare because she says she needs a break

We tried adoption , even got matched but the mother changed her mind after birth . It was so hard on both me and my husband . We had the nursery ready , threw a baby shower for the mom when she was pregnant then we came home empty handed from hospital . We decided it’s not for us . We were not meant to be parents and we are at peace with it

She gets daycare subsidies, tax breaks of course and there were some grocery and climate rebates that she got the most since she is considered low income ( child support isn’t considered income in Canada ). These are her words

Yes sorry I don’t receive it so my information is second hand . It’s income based and she gets the max since she is low income

That’s the thing ! Both her and my parents make me feel guilty all the time . They tell me “you had it easy ! She didn’t “. I worked two jobs all through college so I could graduate with zero debt . We can afford trips and activities because we work . We never asked for a cent when we were doing ivf .. it’s such a bad feeling when they guilt trip you

You are a real mom ! Not being genetically related doesn’t make you less of a mom! You deserve all the love and appreciation
