A few definitions
3 years ago
First, I guess I ought to have defined for myself what a “good step-mom” is. In the sense that I promote the growth and development of my step-children, I’m an excellent step-mom. But I find it very difficult not to get involved in discipline issues with my kids (which is discouraged by all the leading experts in step-parenting). So I’m certainly a wicked stepmother in their eyes. But…I continue to work on my parenting skills, step-parent or not. :)
