Step-Parents at your Wedding?
When Martha Stewart Weddings interviewed me regarding the tricky issues related to having a stepmother of the bride, and asked about proper stepmother wedding etiquette, I was thrilled to learn that publications of this nature were taking this issue seriously.
Knowing that the Martha Stewart magazine article would be a short and sweet response to the complex set of challenges faced by more and more brides and grooms, we at Blended-Families.com wanted to provide a more in depth special report on this topic.
"Meaningful Weddings With Step-Parents In The Mix"
What we created was an ebook that has answers to a series of questions and scenarios related to planning a beautiful, meaningful wedding when stepparents (or new partners or lady friends) are in the mix. This includes having a stepmother of the bride and/or a stepfather of the bride.

Respect or Relationship – Chicken or Egg?
Which does come first? If
you ask an adult the answer will probably be… respect is the
foundation of any good relationship - you can't have a
relationship without respect. If you ask a child, although
you probably wouldn't, their answer would depend on where
they are at developmentally and their level of understanding
of what respect means. Children aren't born knowing what
respect means and look to adults to provide some role
modelling. They do know however, how important people and
relationships are to them; they are always on the look out
for someone who sincerely wants to have a relationship with
them. Read the complete article here!
