Ron: So, with all the complications surrounding a stepmother’s role, just how do you celebrate Mother’s Day?

Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.

Ron: It’s really a great question and the answer depends on just how well things are going in the home. For the stepmom who has some challenges with her stepchildren expecting them to celebrate her may be unrealistic. So, the honor falls to her husband. Even if your kids don’t join you take your wife out for the day. Treat her like a queen and tell her how much you appreciate all she does in serving your kids.

On the other hand, if the kids do feel comfortable with it, encourage them to write a card, make her breakfast, or take her out to eat. A big “thank you” hug sure goes a long way, too.

For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.

Announcer: To find how your church can help stepmoms this Mother’s Day go to familylifeblended.com.
