In this episode Katie talks to Becky. Becky is a Stepmum to a boy as well as being a bio mum to two young girls.
Becky has always had a clear idea of the type of parent she wants to be and as she met her stepson when he was 18 months she has had a big role in shaping his life.
Becky talks about the difficulties of having complete parental autonomy over her daughters whilst not having the same for her stepson. She talks about the pull of how she is supposed to do everything for her stepson but never have the final decision on any matters concerning him.
She also shares the guilt she feels about having a different type of love for her biological children to her love for her stepson and how she feels the pressure to love them the same from her husband.
Becky talks about how her stepson needs a little "reset" when he comes back from his Mums, as the rules and expectations in Becky's house are so different to that in his Mum's house. She talks about how she worries that in the future his Mum's lack of boundaries might mean he thinks life at Mum's is more fun and that he won't want to come to their house any more.
A great conversation with another brilliant Stepmum! Thank you Becky x
