8 AWESOME Things About Being A Step Mom

If you’re a Bonus Mom or a Stepmom to be, Here you will read 8 Awesome things about being a step mom. I want to shed light and encourage you with a few reasons why it is such a rewarding role and that it can take time, but trust the process and enjoy it!

Being a Stepmom is a HUGE Role and a very important one at that. God really entrusted you with such a position & reminding you that you are Equipped, Fully capable and he built you for this. Sheesh! When I put it like that, it’s a fact! I totally was built for this and so are you! Now Lets get to the GOOD Part of being a Bonus Mom!

Here are 8 Awesome Things About Being A Step Mom

---

You Learn so much about yourself that you didn’t even know you could do, Your Motherly instincts kick in almost immediately, The best qualities of you come out, you grow Patience, you become even more Nurturing & you learn that, Yes you ARE built for this! Ladies, its a whole different ball game but you GOT THIS!

You bring a sense of Healing, Peace and Togetherness to a family that was once broken. This one is my favorite! How incredible is it that you have the power (through God of course) to change the dynamic of a home? Remember, you are NOT a replacement but an Addition to their lives. That is a reward in itself if you ask me!

You don’t have to discipline the kids, you can bring your concerns to your partner in a loving way & let him approach the situation and guess what? You still get to keep your  “Cool Parent” card.

(Disclaimer: Don’t be a snitch!)

You prepare yourself for when you become a Bio-Mom (if you aren’t already) –  how to approach situations, how to handle them, how to cook!! how to plan accordingly and prepare breakfast and lunch bags.

You get to take a break! – Not saying mommies can’t, but our Bonus kids are a little easier to escape from. When their mood changes and they throw tantrums, they get sassy & when it gets a little flustering, Its a little easier on us to say  “I’m Out”, Even if it means to go outside for some air or to go buy yourself a bottle of wine haha.

It Strengthens your relationship with your partner, they might not always acknowledge it but they notice it.

They trust you with EVERYTHING or at least almost everything- They become your little broke best friend, they tell you secrets they’ll think twice to tell dad, and it also is an IN on what’s really on their little minds, you get to hear them out where they feel dismissed, you give them advice & you become like this super hero to them! they’ll never forget how your words impacted them. It’s truly so rewarding, don’t break that trust because they’ll remember that too!

They look up to you – You become a role model to these kids, they admire the things you do for them. and in turn they acknowledge this especially when holidays come around. It’s so humbling.

I could list 100 more things but I took it easy.

Eventually, you learn ” Not my speed but God Speed”

pretty much what im saying is, Patience Sis! the kids will always love you for being you! they will also know if you’re trying too hard. so just be you!
