Question for all my Step-Mommies? Advice Please!

As a new step-mommie myself, I'm curious, from those of you who are new step-moms, are you getting anything for mothers day, or atleast being acknowledged? I've been with DH for 4 years now, and we've lived together for 3 (before the wedding). I play a very big part in my step-kids lives, but ofcourse, mother's day wasn't a day for me. But now that we're married, I'm kinda wondering. Like I said, I play a huge part in their lives and have for over 3 years now. I don't expect the kids to really recognize me on mother's day, they are 7 and 12, but I think it would be absolutely wonderful for my DH to recognize all that I do.

Am I just being a brat here or what? I don't want to bring it up to him, b/c I'm curious if he'll figure this one out on his own? Or should I say something to him?

I think so. Last year the girls (14 and 12) bought me a locket with their pictures on it, and I was only their stepmom -to-be. Although I am sure it will be a kitchen accessory - something for me to cook them dinner on.

ETS - DH and I are custodial. They spend about 2 or 3 nights a week with mom.
