7 Ways to Be a Good Stepmom
5. Bring impromptu gifts for your stepchildren
Every stepmother would like to gift her stepchildren during special occasions. So how can you be different? One of the ways you can quickly get accepted as a step-mom is to bring your stepchildren small tokens and gifts for no reason at all. This will make it evident to your husband and your stepchildren that you are trying to build a bond with them and there will be lesser chances for anyone to complain.
6. Cook for your stepchildren
One of the easiest ways to be seen in matriarchal light is to lovingly cook food for your stepchildren. Whether you are a natural cook or not, try to bake a few cakes, whip up an elaborate weekend breakfast or some home style comfort food for your stepchildren. Food is known to bring people together and with cozy meals, you and your stepchildren can bond.
7. Take holidays from work for your stepchildren if need be
Spending weekends with your stepchildren is one thing, but actually taking a day off from work for them is a totally different thing. If your stepchild is sick or needs a parent to attend a school meeting, make sure you are present. This will make a bold statement to everybody that you know your priorities and you can be there for your stepchildren when they need you, just like a real mother.
