One hot topic in the news this past week has been Stepmothers.  A celebrity stepmother was quoted as saying:

“I understand that he has a mom and I respect that,” Bundchen said of the son from Brady’s previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynihan. “But, to me, it’s not like because somebody else delivered him that’s not my child. I feel it is, 100 percent.”

Public reaction to this quote has been mixed.  One one hand, you want to be happy that the other woman in your child’s life love’s him/her as her own, but on the other hand, you want to lash out and feel angry that another woman loves your child as her own for the simple fact that you are the mother, NOT her.  Here is a great interview from Good Morning America, in light of the above listed quote.  This interview features a mom, stepmom and interviews with the children.

There a lot of great resources for stepparenting which I plan on continually posting. Please continue to check back for resources such as websites, books, blogs and classes.
