Contracting Covid is not a moral failing. Lack of concern for other people’s health is.

I’m a big proponent of giving kids non-physical compliments and affirmations. Builds self-esteem not built upon appearance. Here are some examples for adult conversations (which we should also embrace.) Modify for kids.

Things we shouldn’t say to #stepmoms : 1) You knew what you were getting into when you married him. 2) It’s not like they’re really yours. 3) You aren’t a real mom. (I could go on.) Let’s think before we speak. Words wound. Choose wisely.

My husband has a new air popper. He’s been popping popcorn nightly. He doesn’t like butter on his. And he doesn’t eat salt. But he melts butter for me and hands me the salt shaker as he hands me my own bowl. The bigger bowl. This is LOVE.

I’m so thankful we were able to gather with our kids this year. That wasn’t possible last year bc two of our kids work in hospitals & their dad is high risk. But this year, vaccines and boosters made our gathering possible. Thankful for kids who believe in God and science.

As stepmoms, we do ourselves a disservice if we believe our efforts alone will bring harmony to our family. We must do our part but we are not solely responsible for the workings of the entire family. The kids must see a team effort b/t you and your partner.
