Being a not evil stepmother - Amelia and I Navigating and Understanding step-parenthood
For just over a decade I have been a stepparent and it is the most rewarding and challenging role I never knew I'd fill. Today, I explore what it means to walk the world as a step-parent and what you can do to support the step-parents in your life and social circle. (And I've brought back a guest who also fills those shoes).
Together we share our bumbling and stumbling roads to becoming “bonus moms.” Come for the laugh-out-loud moments and “what we wish we had known,” stay for some solid ranting about the portrayals of step mom’s in popular culture.
IN THIS EPISODE:
Unsolicited Advice - The road to successful step-parenting is paved with awkwardness. Step-parenting requires a wealth of patience: it doesn't necessarily get any easier, but you will grow into it. For everyone who wants to know how to support someone who is a stepparent: even if you don't understand you can always listen.
THE BOOKS:
Amelia is Liking - The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugong
Recommended for Amelia - Ink, Blood, Sister, Scribe by Emma Torzs
Unrequired Reading - The Wishing Game by Meg Shaffer which is really about an adoptive mom, not a step mom, but we will take what we can get.
