Stepparenting & Blended Families

"I want to be just like him when I grow up!"

After reading The Next Generation of Dads, you will feel the call to action to make a difference in the lives of children. You will appreciate how much impact you have on kids in your life and you will seek out opportunities to make a difference in their lives. You will become more aware of how impressionable children are. United, we will all go forth like an army intent on helping the future generations of children to be better off.

RC Myles is in the middle of raising his three children. He has made a point to be constantly aware of what his kids and all the kids in his life are doing. He pays close attention to how they interact with adults. He has compassion for both children and adults and the challenges they face.

By remaining a deliberate observer in a vast number of circumstances, RC has become an expert and can tune in to what works and what does not work for kids.

RC works with coaches, teachers, mentors and parents, gathering some of the better methods for success and clearly identifying some of the pitfalls that we as adults (especially men) should try to avoid when interacting with kids.

R.C. Myles challenges the young men of this generation to rise to the opportunity of becoming the greatest hero in their child's life, so that someday they too can hear, "I want to be just like him, when I grow up!"

Stepparenting & Blended Families

Stories of the stepmother, the substitute mother, or the other mother have infused popular culture for centuries and continue to do so today. She plays a substantial role in our collective imagination, whether we are a part of a step family or not. Despite the fact that the stepmother remains a prevalent figure, both in popular culture and reality, scholars have largely avoided addressing this fraught figure. I Could Not Call Her Mother explores representations of the stepmother in American popular culture from the colonial period to 1960. The archetypal stepmother appears from nineteenth-century romance novels and advice literature to 1930s pulp fiction and film noir. Leslie J. Lindenauer argues that when considered in her historic context, the stepmother serves as a bellwether for changing constructions of motherhood and family. She examines popular culture's role in shaping and reflecting an increasingly normative middle class definition of the ideal mother and family, which by the 1920s became the dominant construct.
Lindenauer adds to the rich and growing literature on the history of motherhood. It echoes and is informed by the scholarship that has defined ideal motherhood as a moving target, historically constructed. In so doing, it illuminates the relationship between ideal motherhood and ideal womanhood.

Stepparenting & Blended Families

An honest and groundbreaking guide to understanding the complicated emotions that develop between stepmothers and children.

 

When faced with often overwhelming challenges, what woman with stepchildren is unfamiliar with that “stepmonster” feeling? Half of all women in the United States will live with or marry a man with children. To guide women new to this role—and empower those who are struggling with it—Wednesday Martin draws upon her own experience as a stepmother. She's frank about the harrowing process of becoming a stepmother, she considers the myths and realities of being married to a man with children, and she counteracts the cultural notion that stepmothers are solely responsible for the problems that often develop. Along the way, she interviews other stepmothers and stepchildren and offers up fascinating insights from literature, anthropology, psychology, and evolutionary biology that explain the little-understood realities of this unique parent-child relationship and—in an unexpected twist—shows why the myth of the Wicked Stepmother is the single best tool for understanding who real stepmothers are and how they feel.

Stepparenting & Blended Families

Three Books in One--USA Best Book Award Winner in Parenting/Divorce & Its Marriage & Pets Sidekicks

How to Screw Up Your Kids: Blended Families, Blendered Style

Married couples with children divorce 40% of the time. In less than three years after that divorce, chances are both mom & dad are remarried, & probably each to someone who has kids of their own. The single most explosive & divisive issue in those marriages? Stepparenting.

Wouldn't it be nice if we all lived in a bubble gum and sugar plum world where, without a ripple on Lake Placid, kids embraced stepparents & appreciated their contributions? Where stepsiblings didn't compete for attention & argue over favorites & fairness? Well, we don't.

So what we need when stepparenting is a good plan. A plan for blending, or blendering if you will, the disparate stepchildren & their parents into a chunky smoothie of stepfamily goodness. How To Screw Up Your Kids helps the parents everyone predicts will fail prove all the naysayers wrong. Through the use of practical human relations principles & the author's achingly honest & often hilarious stories, readers will learn to envision & instill a unique set of family values & culture into their new household, & by God, have fun doing it.

EEE How to Screw Up Your Marriage: Do-Over Tips For First-Time Failures

Let's face it. People keep getting into relationships. Yet over 40% of first marriages end in divorce & up to 67% of second do, too, with statistics becoming predictably more dismal as the number of trips to the altar rack up. It seems like, for many of us, the longing to be half of a couple so in love they make other people want to puke is too strong to ignore.

The problem is, we've all grown up to expect that fairytale endings happen by accident, that if we wish upon a star, or let down our golden hair, then, blammo, we'll get our happily ever after. In other words, we're lazy & feel entitled to have the one thing we want most in the world--the one thing we should work hardest to create and nurture--without doing squat to make our dreams reality. We fall in love, we marry, we pout, we nag, we sulk, & we sabotage.

How to Screw Up Your Marriage interrupts the pity party with a no-nonsense formula for couplehood success, written by a human relations expert who is herself in a wonderfully nauseating marriage with a passel of his & hers kids.

How to Screw Up Your Pets: Puppalicious and Beyond. Who says a whacked sense of humor & animal stories don't mix?

Do you rank Where The Red Fern Grows along with Wuthering Heights amongst your favorite books of all time? All Creatures Great & Small with Pet Sematary? If so, chances are you get it: there’s something magical about giving literary immortality & a sometimes irreverent voice to the nonhumans that capture our collective imagination. If these are the stories that glue you to the page, then How to Screw Up Your Pets is the book for you. Set in the Caribbean and Texas, it tells both the true & fictionalized versions of the magnificent & interrelated creatures--natural and supernatural -- that passed through the authors’ blended family's life, bringing her delight, fright, & every emotion in between.

EEE See why Hutchins is called an "up & coming powerhouse writer" & "the Erma Bombeck of her generation."

EEE The reviews are in, and they're good. Very, very good.

"Funny and helpful." Shirley Dudley, author of Blended Family Advice

Stepparenting & Blended Families

We've heard from the parents and stepparents. We've heard from the child psychologists and family counselors. Now let the children speak. Here are the wise words of ten children who grew up in stepfamilies. They are young enough to remember the experience well and old enough to have learned from it. They not only offer their poignant stories, but they add advice specifically marked for parents, stepparents, and even stepchildren. They come from different races, economic levels and from various parts of the country, but all of their stories reverberate with truth and a desire to help others. The author, a parent and stepparent herself, knew the right questions to ask and knew how to help them translate their sometimes painful experience into lessons from which all of us can learn.

Stepparenting & Blended Families

In this memoir, the author explores questions of race, adoption, and identity, not as the professor of cultural studies she
became, but as the Black child of German settlers in Guatemala. Her
journey into the mystery that shrouded her early years begins in the US
when she realized it was not just her foreign accent that alienated her from Blacks.
Under layers of privilege (private schools, international travel, the
life of a fashion model and actress in Europe) she discovered that her most important story is one of disinheritance.
The author's determination to find out who her parents really were
and why she was taken from them, tests the love of her White husband
and their son, and returns her to Guatemala to find a family that kept
her memory alive as legend. In the end, she learns truths about the women who were her mothers, and the disrespect committed long ago against a birthmother and her child in the name of love.

Author A.S. Noraford never set out to write a self-help book. Instead, this book arose from her attempts to find solace among women like her before I called it quits on her second marriage. What emerged from the author's all-out hunt for sympathetic ears was the unexpected discovery that my marriage was not only salvageable but also worth saving. My book merges the painfully humorous yet true stories of her family’s progress with the research completed throughout that journey. This book also equips readers with effective, research-tested strategies to help them negotiate unfamiliar territory, like introducing their children, managing deadbeat dads and “baby mama drama,” setting ground rules, and finding intimacy—and time to laugh—in the middle of it all.
