  • THIS! All of this!

    I have been a full time stepmom to 4 children for the last 10 years. While I certainly had some struggles early on, it’s the teen years I am really finding challenging. I can absolutely relate to all the emotions you express. But the 5 Things I Want My Partner to Know NAILED everything I’ve been wanting to express to my partner but couldn’t put into words THANK YOU! Would love an episode on parenting teens.
