Happy Stepmother’s Day!
Being a stepmom is one of the world’s most challenging roles – a role with little understanding and even less appreciation.
You are to be admired for your selfless role in loving and raising a child that isn’t biologically yours. While at the same time, some of you endure conflict with the biomom, enabling biodads and disrespectful stepkids.
Every stepmom should be celebrated not only today but every day for the critical part you play in raising your children. I acknowledge you for the sacrifices you’ve made and will continue to make for your stepkids and family.
If you have a stepmom who loves and cares for you as her own, please let her know the difference she’s made in your life and how lucky you feel to have her as a bonus parent. A stepfamily is based on a foundation of loss, love, and commitment. If you’re a stepkid, let your stepmom know your warm feelings for her.
If you’re a stepmom, it’s essential to manage your expectations. You might have one stepchild remember to reach out to you today and another child who forgets. Remember, it’s common to have a stepchild who doesn’t celebrate you. However, this shouldn’t stop the selfless work you’ve begun.
Happy Stepmother’s Day, and don’t grow weary of doing good.
