I take my role as stepmom very seriously. I am a Mom first but also a Stepmom. Both roles are so important to my blendedfamily life. I try to raise my children and my stepchild with the same values that I have. More than anything I want them to be kind, happy human beings. I want them to treat others with kindness and love. I want them to understand that happiness comes from within.Remember that even though you are “just the Stepmom”, you will have a lot of influence over their lives.
