So, I am a step-mom .... you know the "evil one" you read about all the time in fairytales.
I really feel fairytales make a lot of stuff sound twisted - I mean after all perhaps step-moms, wolves and giants aren't so bad? Who wrote this stuff anyhow? Hardly ever does life ever happen the way they sound - I just read a story this past week like that - a guy in New York fell in love with a girl across the tracks and created a website to find her and he did but now they have seperated: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080729/od_nm/subway_dc I do suppose, that is why they are called FAIRYTALES.
I do feel step-parents do have a bad rap though - I love my step-kids! I will always say I am a family of 6 with 4 kids - no exclusions, no exceptions; this is how we are. In fact at my last high school reunion I won an award - out of all the attendees there I received an award for having the most kids -- my husbands comment was we didn't need to recieve that again.... hardy, har, har :)
Step-parenting has it ups and downs, just like any parenting does.... there's just a lot more people involved.
The greatest gift at the end of the day though is looking into those beautiful blue eyes and hearing them say "I love you"....... then I look into a mirror and chant "mirror, mirror on the wall who's the fairest in the land..." hardy, har, har :)
Any other step-parents out there??

I too am a stepmom, we only see them once a year-please don't get me started on the biological parent....on the flip side though, my oldest son has two dads (my husband-you know the evil step one :)) and his bio dad-all works out great and all get along-pretty cool
I was talking to a friend of mine a few weeks ago about that. It's like fairytales are trying to condition little kids to be suspicious of their step-parents. Both of my step-parents blend in just great, and all four of my parents, step-mom step-dead real mom and real dad live right next door to each other without much trouble. Except that I get over-parented sometimes, having four loving, caring adults around all the time.
My (7 y/0) daughter has one of those evil step-mothers you read about. I've tried everything to make things civil between all of us to no avail!
My ex and his wife blame everything on me and make my and my daughters life unbearable, most of the time, when dealing with them.
How great it would be for her if we could be like : the go in betwees and co exist in peace and harmony . . . .
good luck to you on your blogging endeavors. a tip: don't use the flourecent green or any other similar colors for your text. it is too hard on the eyes!
