Chatelaine.com lists some areas to focus on when you become a Stepmom. (from parenting expert Kathy Lynn)
You cannot rush the formation of a relationship between a Stepmom and a child. How quickly a child warms up to a Step-parent is a very complex dynamic. It has more to do with the experiences the child has been through than who the Stepmom is. Let the relationship develop over time through shared activities.
Be yourself. You are not looking to be a replacement for their biological mother. And, you don’t have to be like her.
Be sensitive on issues of discipline. You should expect manners and civility from a step-child, but allow.
A few other things to keep in mind and be sensitive to.
- No matter how well you treat stepchildren, they can see you as being the obstacle that will forever block their parents getting back together.
- Children are children and parents are adults. They will test you and at times cause difficulties. We did the same for our parents, regardless of whether they were biological or step, when we were growing up.
- Interact with your extended family with an open mind.
- There will be times when you feel that you are on the outside looking in. Your husband and his children have a history before you. Respect that.
- Your spouse cannot force his children to like you but he should insist that your step-children treat you respectfully.
- Be kind to the children’s biological Mom.
- Sharing time during holidays, birthdays, graduations
These bullet points are my takeaways from 25 Rules for being a good stepmom.
- Your stepson or stepdaughter still have hope that their parents will get back together. Their father’s marriage to you is the end of that hope. They will probably have some resentment toward you for that.
- Always remember that they are children and will act like it. They will be immature and emotional. That is developmentally appropriate for children and should be expected.
- Enter the relationship with your blended family with an open heart and an open mind.
- There will be times that you might feel like an outsider when your husband and his children share memories from before you knew them.
