Wow, you have a lot on your plate, @deadgrlsuppastar!! Stay strong!! Your step kids have never had a hamburger or taco? They don't know what they're missing!!!

Yeah, I think most of this is just baloney. My daughter is 6 and sometimes she comes home from school with a little trinket or toy (ever since she discovered Shopkins, she wants to collect little things and keep them in her purse) and she tells me her friends give them to her, but I do wonder if she's telling the truth as I don't remember her sister getting gifts from her friends like that, except maybe a friendship bracelet or two, and there's really no way of knowing for sure. Something I definitely need to keep an eye on. And, yes, I have let her choose plenty of times too!! Just about every time we go to the dollar tree they get to pick something out...
