概要
Mother's Day is almost here, and stepmoms everywhere are bracing for the rollercoaster of emotions that this Hallmark holiday can bring. In this honest, lighthearted episode, Lori & David break down the myths, expectations, and real stories behind recognition, or lack thereof, on Mother's Day and Stepmother's Day in blended families.
In this episode:
-
Why communication about expectations is crucial (hint: don't assume your partner or stepkids know what you want!)
-
How to navigate feelings of disappointment or being overlooked, and practical tips to prevent "getting butt hurt twice"
-
Real-life experiences with gifts, love languages, and candid stories about not being recognized—and creative ways stepmoms can celebrate themselves
-
The history behind Mother's Day and why even its founder came to regret it
-
Advice on handling grief and mixed emotions if you're missing your own mom or struggling with the holiday
Whether you're a stepmom, stepdad, or simply navigating new traditions in your blended family, this is your annual reminder to communicate with your partner, lower expectations and appreciate yourself for all you do.
