In this episode, Lori Sims, founder of Nacho Kids Nacho Parenting, welcomes a previous stepmom back to share her story of being a stepkid versus being a stepmom. Stepmom had a lot of resentment towards her dad for not being a part of her life. She would visit her dad in the summer, until she chose to go live with him and her stepmom. She expected her blend as a stepmom to be like the blend she grew up in. And it was not.
In this episode, we discuss the following:
-
Being a stepkid
-
Seeing bio dad in summer to living with bio dad
-
Blended expectations
-
Stepmom given the parental authority
-
The power of words
Nacho Kids Academy Nacho Parenting Success Story:
"Being a therapist, I thought I would know how to "blend" and make our family be like a nuclear family. I had no clue! I joined the Nacho Kids Academy and was able to get the help I truly needed. There is no shame in therapists needing help too!" ~ A.B.
