Avoid being a stepmartyr this holiday season--by doing less!

Holiday preparations have you feeling worn down already? Take a minute (okay, twenty) for yourself. This podcast with Jacque Fletcher ushers in a new series she’s started, “In the Stepfamily Mix”–featuring Jacque and me sounding off weekly about issues relevant to stepmoms. On the plate this week is Thanksgiving: “What if I’m expected to do Thanksgiving with my husband’s ex but don’t want to?”; “How can we make holiday and other get-togethers less stressful?”; “Why do my husband and I only fight when his kids are around?” Plus helpful tips to keep you (relatively) sane and stable over the ensuing weeks!
