Michelle Brown: Step-Parenting & What It Teaches Us About Love & Relationships
Manage episode 386057375 series 2808040
Nobody dreams of becoming a stepmother. Yet for Michelle Brown, a blogger and step-parenting expert, being a step-mother feels like something she was meant to do.
Michelle has a unique bond with her step-son, and through her writing she has also become a light in the darkness for many new step-parents struggling to make things work. Michelle is the first to admit, however, that step-parenting can be painful and exceptionally complex.
In this week’s episode, Andrew and Michelle discuss:
- How society sees step-parents
- The challenges of running a blended family.
- Dealing with your partner’s ex (your step-child’s other parent).
- Defining your role in your step-child’s life.
- Parenting your biological child alongside your step-child.
- Looking after your marriage as a step-parent
