Gift For My Dad’s Wife

I think she will love it. She sounds like a loving and considerate ''stepmom'' and that's a good thing, plus your Dad isn't by himself. I am not a stepmom, but I have friends that are, that try so hard to please adult stepchildren. So often, the children rather resent the new stepmom because they miss their birth mother, and wish she was still alive. One of my friends lost her husband about 10 years ago. She waited for over 5 years before she even went on a date. She met a very nice man, her age, who had lost his wife. They fell in love, and planned to marry. He had a son who didn't want him to marry the woman and voiced this to everyone. The would-be husband is fairly well off, and his son spread the word that the woman wanted his Dad's money. Couldn't have been further from the truth, she had an inheritance from her own parents. They ended up making a pre-nup to satisfy the son, they both agreed on that without question. The son is still rude to her. It hurts her very much, she and his Dad include him always, but he is so hateful. It's wonderful that you accept your stepmom and appreciate the person that she is. Not everyone does that. You are a good lady, Amber.

I didn't know there was such a thing . . . sounds perfect for someone who loves the warmth! My dad was always freezing . . . we were always looking for various clothing and things that would keep him warm. This is a great find and I'm sure she'll make great use of it .

She'll love it. I would be like her, needing to be warm and covered in that blanket with the A/C pouring into the car the way you have it on long drives.

That's a wonderful idea. I've noticed that you always say 'my dad's wife' but you always speak very kindly of her. She sounds a kind person, taking your needs into consideration like that.

I think she'll love it. That's a very thoughtful gift. Have a good weekend.

Sounds like a good gift to me. I didn't know they made heated scarves! Maybe I need that, I hate being cold so much lol!

She will love it! You found the perfect gift for her!! I have been trying to remind myself with the changing weather to put a blanket in the car and truck for our trips here and there. Hubby always freezes me out!

I think that is a great gift. Maybe I will get something like that for my mom. It would make a nice Christmas present. Actually, I could get one for my dad too...although he rarely goes anywhere.

You will not believe this but when I started reading your post where I see you mentioning "Dad's wife" I wondered whey you could not call her your stem mom and there you are talking about it (lol) Now she will replace that blanket with your scarf gift.

Such a sweet lady she is..it is a lovely gift you got her Ambie.

I am sure she will enjoy your present. My husband always feels cold, he has a blood circulation problem.

I think that's a very thoughtful gift...I bet she'll love it.

I completely understand where you're coming from regarding the term "stepmom." It's interesting how language can carry certain connotations, and it's wonderful to see your evolving relationship with Diana, or should I say, your stepmom! The thoughtful gift you've chosen for her is a sweet gesture, especially considering how you both deal with temperature differences during car rides. It's clear that you have a caring and considerate bond, and this gift seems like a perfect way to show your appreciation for her. I'm sure she'll absolutely love it! Bless her heart indeed for all the thoughtfulness she's shown. ??

She seems to be a kind lady. You are considerate and sweet to give her a scarf. I'm sure she'll enjoy it!

It can be hard for anyone to call another woman "mom" regardless of reason. No reason you have to call her step-mom if you don't want to. I am sure she'll appreciate it.

Yes I think she will like it you should have went for the electric blanket

She would surely love it , hoping she'll enjoy her birthday celebration next month.

I am sure that Diana will enjoy her birthday gift.

A heated scarf, very nice and convenient.l am sure she will like it.

There is a good chance she will like it. Let us know how she likes the scarf.
