Any stepmoms?

Hello, Oklahoma nesties.

I'm a newb here, a newlywed, and a new stepmom. Adjusting to married life hasn't been too much of a challenge, but adjusting to life as a step parent has its ups and downs. I'm having a hard time finding other stepmoms in the OKC area (or wherever, really) to connect with and relate to. Are any of you stepmoms, or do you know a great step parenting board? 

 Thanks!

Re: Any stepmoms?

  • I'm not a stepmom (I think we do have a few here though), just wanted to say hello and welcome!
  • There are at least a couple SMs on here--hopefully you'll find some support here! Feel free to vent/ask questions if you need to. Welcome!

  • Welcome! Not a stepmom myself, but I know on the bump that there is a blended family board. There is also a couple of stepmoms on this board.

  • Thanks for the warm welcome, ladies! I'm realizing that I sound like I only want to interact with SMs, and that's not the case. :) It's just a big part of my life that's lacking any sort of support/relationships/etc. Looking forward to getting to know you all.
  • I am a stepmom - and yup, it is the hardest job I have ever had. There are several of us on this board - if you need to vent or whatever, just let us know. Smile
  • I'm not a stepmom, but welcome to the board!

  • Not a stepmom either, but welcome! I looked at your bio and I think it's so cool that you are into indie music. What are your favorites?
  • I am not a stepmom myself, but H is not DD's father, and we have been a blended family for 7 years, so I may have experiences or insight that could help.  Welcome to the board!

    Ditto everything stipes said.  I'm a stepmom as well.  Welcome to the board.

  • @stripes - Thank you! I am already feeling encouraged. How long have you been a stepmom?
    @kayleeb - Thanks!
    @tbvenable - Thank you!
    @bluekid - Oh man? so hard to list 'favorites,' but I consistently love The Decemberists, Wilco, Iron & Wine, Andrew Bird, Frightened Rabbit? :) You?
    @critti - Great to hear there are other women from blended and step families on the Oklahoma board. It's a small thing, but comforting to know I'm not alone.
    @ostatekris - Awesome. How many step children do you have? Any bio kids?

  • I have one stepson, he's 8 and I've been with H since stepson was 2.  I do not have any biological children.
