Alabama Barker praised her stepmom, Kourtney Kardashian, on her 44th birthday. “Happy birthday Kourt,” the 17-year-old wrote via her Instagram Story Tuesday. “You’re the best stepmom I could ask for, you are so caring and generous for others, you are such a family person and such a hard working mom.” She continued, “Even if you don’t feel good or had a hard day, you always put your family first.

Yet the former beauty pageant queen has gone through periods of estrangement with her children, who live full-time with their father. At one point, Alabama even asked fans to stop painting Moakler out to be “an amazing mom” because she “has never completely been in [her] life
