by Sally Bjornsen (Author)

A funny, honest, and empathetic resource for the novice stepmother on maintaining sanity, solving hair-raising identity issues, regaining a sense of humor, and surviving what you did for love....

What happens when the honeymoon comes to a screeching halt and you're faced with a houseful of rambunctious children, an ever-present ex-wife, and a new husband trying to balance the chaos?

This helpful guide includes advice on:

- The kids: Adjusting to suspicion, resentment, and biological-parent loyalties
- The ex-wife: Living calmly alongside her, whether she's a psycho or the perfect mother
- The holidays: Accommodating old family traditions and developing new ones
- The sex: Keeping love alive through the kids' bed-wettings and nightmares
- The finances: Building safety nets and avoiding financial disasters
- The urge to be evil: Accepting it, and then stopping yourself from saying something you'll regret--to him, the kids, or her
- Plus an invaluable list of resources, websites, publications, and organizations specifically for the new stepmother
