This is a brief episode to remind our listeners that we are being very vulnerable in sharing our stories.  Lindsay is in a unique position with her cohosts: While she has a strong relationship with her step-son's bio-mom, she also has her as a co-host.  Many of the stories shared will involve Franci.  Recognizing that some of these stories my not reflect well on her as the bio-mom, Lindsay is asking for consent to share their stories, and also asking the audience to withstand judgment as best they can: the people in our stories about have grown.  While it is difficult to not practice our own for of revisionist history, Ellen, Franci, and Lindsay believe very strongly that the stories of our fumbles and mistakes will help other  mothers- biological and steps!  This is about creating better environments for everyone, so thank you for accepting our vulnerability.

You are loved.  We see you.  You are not alone.  We are with you.

Children have such little say in their lives: even more so when in a blended family.  As bonus moms, and as parents in general, we have to keep in mind that "they don't get to wake up and just be..."

You are loved.  We see you.  You are not alone.  We are with you.

Comparisons are hard!  Do you feel like its a personal attack when your step-kids compare you to their other home?  We can certainly understand that!  Hopefully, you will find a little help in overcoming that in our upcoming episodes!

Until then:

You are loved.  We see you.  You are not alone.  We are with you.
