The plural of mom is moms. No apostrophe. The apostrophe is for possessives or to indicate the omission of letters. I hope you aren't insulted by this. I really like what you write but this just jangled my last nerve when I read it. So I had to be a mom!Sally Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915099472711692640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-71430137232082615962011-04-16T08:26:04.953-05:002011-04-16T08:26:04.953-05:00Great post on moms.

YA is tough, because you are appealing to an audience that is becoming more independent. My kids now are 29 and 33 and they probably appreciate who I am more than they ever did.

A big part of A Bitch Named Karma is how the relationship between Lexi and her mom grows and changes as she becomes a mom herself. <br /><br />I adore my mom...most people don;t even know she is my step mom and not my biological mom. But she is the one who raised me since age 3-1/2 (when my bio mom took off).
