Stepparenting & Blended Families

Becoming a stepmother is a life-altering event in any woman's life. The issues are extraordinarily complex and women are overwhelmingly unprepared. Yet concerns usually focus on the effect remarriage has on the children. The Enlightened Stepmother approaches the subject from a totally new perspective -- that of the stepmother. Based on information -- sometimes controversial -- from stepmoms of all ages, occupations and lifestyles, who know from experience what works, what doesn't and why --

What you need to know about your new family before you become part of it.

How to get off to the right start. (It's hard to change a relationship once you've taken the path of least resistance.)

How to prevent, rather than cure, the stepmom's classic pitfalls.

What you need to recognize about your relationship with your husband's children.

How to handle relationships between your kids and his.

Why you need to give your marriage top priority.

How to make sure others are aware that this is your life too.

Why you need to develop a working relationship with your stepchildren's mother.

How to understand the inevitable stages every stepfamily passes through.

How to overcome the guilt of not loving -- or even liking -- your stepchildren.

How to avoid feeling guilty in circumstances over which you have no control.

Why a successful stepfamily is as unique as every stepmom.

Stepparenting & Blended Families

How To Screw Up Your Kids: Blended Families, Blendered Style Award-Winner in the 'Parenting/Family: Divorce' category of The 2012 USA Best Book Awards Winner, 2012 Houston Writers Guild Narrative Nonfiction Manuscript Contest. Married couples with children divorce 40% of the time. In less than three years after that divorce, chances are both mom and dad are remarried, and probably each to someone who has kids of their own. The single most explosive and 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 and appreciated their contributions? Where stepsiblings didn't compete for attention and argue over favorites and 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 and 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 and the author's achingly honest and often hilarious stories, readers will learn to envision and instill a unique set of family values and culture into their new household, and by God, have fun doing it.
