My StepMom Experience

As a child, I always wanted a fairytale wedding. My prince, baby, and white picket fence. I got my generous hubby, off-white fence and stepdaughter who was a teen!  It's never was what it seems, and you really don't know what goes on behind closed doors. The "grass is not always greener on the other side."

The times that we did go out as a family it was joyous and smiles. We hit the malls, beaches, and movies. At home it looked different. There were often times that appeared to be "sibling rivalry" - since I was much younger than my husband.

Fast forward... she (my stepdaughter) has two daughters, and my husband and I have the joy of being grandparents. As teen girls, the time has passed, and now they all have lives of their own. Time goes fast. We are enjoying the empty nest stage of our lives. My advice is cherish the moment.
