Stepmother’s Milk is super pleased to announce Emily Bouchard as our Stepmom in the Spotlight this month. Emily is an author, speaker, blended family coach and a stepmother. As far as I’m concerned, she’s an expert on the subject. Read more about Emily’s work…

She has given one of the best interviews on being a stepparent to teenagers, unifying the family, creating boundaries and taking care of your marriage that I have read. And I’m honored to post it here.

Here’s a quote about stepparenting teenage kids…

“Think about it from their perspective: the two adults they love and trust more than anyone split up – that wasn’t supposed to happen. Then, dad chooses you, and they’re supposed to openly, willingly, blindly trust that he’s a better judge now than he was before, that you’re a better choice than their mom for him, and that you two are going to be together forever – not likely! The statistics are not in your favor, and your teens know that to put their trust in you may not be in their best interest.”

Pretty good stuff, huh? There’s more. Read the entire interview… and leave a comment for Emily.

If you or someone you know wants to be featured in an upcoming month email izzy@stepmothersmilk.com. We all grow stronger by sharing our stories, the sweet and the sour!
