Stepparenting & Blended Families

If you’re one of the more than 15 million stepmothers in the country, you know the particular trials—and joys—of stepfamily dynamics today. You wonder if you’re doing the right thing and, as a stepmother, many of your specific questions are unique. In this second edition of Stepmotherhood: How to Survive Without
Feeling Frustrated, Left Out, or Wicked, journalist and stepmother Cherie Burns brings together countless insights and sound advice, based on the latest research and interviews with experts in the field (including dozens of other stepmoms), to answer questions such as:

• How do you manage discipline when parents and stepparents disagree?
• How can you help stepsiblings get along?
• How do you handle birthdays, holidays, and weddings?
• What’s the best way to get along with your stepchild’s mother?
• When should you seek a therapist’s help?

Burns’s wise and empathetic suggestions go beyond struggle, stigma, and compromise, showing how sensitive, informed stepmothers can take charge—and pride—in their role, becoming more effective and fulfilled.

Stepparenting & Blended Families

For close to forty years, I was single with no kids. One day, the most wonderful woman came into my life. I married her and had an instant family of three wonderful kids. …it’s not been easy…not at all. From being foot loose and fancy free to being a Step-dad was quite a change. It’s been a rocky, uphill battle at times, full of fear, frustration, anger and success. This body of work is uncensored and raw in some spots. I make no apologies my feelings or the words I used to describe my experiences. I would rather be honest in my accounts because there are millions of Step-dads out there that most likely feel the same way.
