How To Be A More Assertive Stepparent
Remember that this your life too
When stepping into the role of a stepparent, it can be pretty easy to feel as though you’ve lost control of your life. Not only do you have to consider the children and their needs and wants, but it often also means that you have to take the needs and wants of your spouse’s ex into consideration as well. While some experts will tell you to adopt the mentality that the children must come first, it is also important to remind yourself that this is your life too and your needs are also important.
