'Best Bonus Mom' Girl Gives Stepmom Comforting Mother's Day Gifts

A Reddit user wrote about her stepdaughter's heart-melting gift for the upcoming Mother's Day, and netizens could not help but go 'awww!'. User u/FoxyMoon816 showed pictures of the gifts-- a stuffed toy that looks like a cow embracing a calf, a decorative bottle of milk, and best of all, a faux potted plant that reads, 'Best Bonus Mom'. Not only were the gifts adorable, but also made the new member of the little girl's family feel more welcome. 

Stepmom Feels Loved On Mother's Day

Reddit user u/FoxyMoon816 shared a touching moment in her life as a stepmother to a little girl. As Mother's Day was fast approaching, the child gifted her some things that made her feel special.

"I have been having a hard time with gaining confidence and being a mom as my stepkiddo's mom is still in the picture. I didn't think she truly saw me as a mom, just a friend that her dad was married to," the woman confessed.

"But today, she gave me these and said you're the big cow and I'm the little cow," she wrote, showing off a stuffed toy of a mama cow and her calf. The girl also gifted her a decorative milk bottle with a cow painted on it.

The little girl also gifted her stepmom a plastic flower pot which reads, 'Best Bonus Mom'. This message reassured the woman about being a stepmom to the little girl.

Last year I posted my first ever Mother’s Day gift from my step daughter. This is this years 🥹
