Even if you’ve seen the movie, in your real life, you still don’t know how to do what Julia Roberts did on Stepmom. That’s because being the newcomer in an already established family will require all your talents, courage, and skills. Remember when you were a new employee? Being a stepmom is a million times harder than that.
You might have won the father’s heart, but what about the kids? You bet it’s going to be a lot tougher than the dad and you’ll need to summon all your charms, and more importantly, your patience.
The biggest mistake you can ever do is to try to take the place of their real mom.Kids are very sensitive about their biological mother. The best thing for you to do is to take it one step at a time. Be friends with them by spending time with them doing fun activities such as badminton, picnics, or beach. Don’t push it. Give them time to let you inside their circle of trust.
Be very understanding of the attention the kids want from daddy. Of course you’ll want the dad all to yourself. After all, it’s your love story, right? The thing is, being a stepmom will require some major adjustments from you. Expect that the kids will be more demanding of their father’s time. This is understandable. Until they realize that you’re not competing with them for their father’s love, they’ll really get in the way. Give way.
Be yourself. When the kids finally realize that you’re not their mother wanna-be, they’ll start liking you for what you are. And don’t be afraid to be different from their mother. Remember that it is still your love story, and that you have a romance to enjoy. Besides, the father loved you because you’re you.
