What Are Good Girlfriends (and Guy Friends) Good For? The Talking Cure Revisited
Hey lady, have you read the new research on siblings, friends, and stress?
Women in stressful situations–does that ring a bell?–need social support. So call a friend and meet him or her for coffee and have a chat. Even if you don't talk about what's bothering you directly, it can make a big difference. Oh, and don't forget to read my latest post on psychology.com, about the newest research on siblings and social support!
And TELL ME ABOUT IT: DO YOU TALK TO YOUR SIBLING/S ABOUT ISSUES IN YOUR REMARRIAGE WITH CHILDREN?

Stepmom Roundtable hosted by coparenting101.com
Nothing a little tea and social support can't fix..
Deesha Philyaw, co-founder with her ex-husband Mike of coparenting101.com, recently interviewed me, and then conducted a stepmom roundtable discussion with some of the stepfamily bloggers you may know and love, including Heather Hetchler of CafeSmom.com and Bridgett Lemos-Norman of In the Blender. I sound a lot like Minnie Mouse in the interview–what's new? can I have a voice coach, please?–but I think you'll really like hearing these other women talk about their lives married to men with children!

National Stepfamily Day–and a Question for You

Are you family? Family-like? Something else?
Thanks to the hard work of activist Christie Borgeld and other stepfamily advocates, today is officially National Stepfamily Day.
Do you consider that you, your husband/partner and his kids (or adult kids) are a "stepfamily"? Or do you feel like you're in a remarriage with kids? Or is it both? I'd like to know: does the word "stepfamily" ring true to you?
