I've seen things like this a lot over the years. But some things are certain....and that is that your step-children will grow up. There WILL come the day when they are old enough to know that you were there for them and that you always welcomed and loved them.
I have been at this job long enough to see my daycare kids have kids of their own. I've seen mothers and fathers pull their hair out due to an ex who either doesn't care or likes to come off as the Disneyland parent...letting the good parent look like the discipline police.
It has never failed yet, that the child grows up to finally understand which parent really put in the effort and the time.
Be the one they remember as always being there when needed. If birth mom is the kind who gets rid of them every chance she gets for a "me day"......they will eventually catch on.
