Am I the only one who thinks they need a survey for us Step-Moms?

They ask all these questions about pregnancy and everything else, but what if your on a step mom. Kinda hard to answer those questions. (I took the only out b/c it didn't sound right)

I did write the survey, Lisa. You just have to look for it under my profile.



It would be cool to see everyone's answers. If you would like please post a link to your answered survey here.

You are just as much of a Mom being a step Mom as you would be if you were a real Mom to biological children. I love my 3 step daughters as much as my own 3. I love them all the same and treat them that way too. I have a Mother Daughter relationship with them as well because I do this. Don't feel your not a Mother because you have the label of a STEPMOM!

I clicked on your name and the "step-mom" survey is on your page. I clicked on the survey and it has a "take me" link at the bottom. Thanks for creating!

I'm very excited about this! I also stopped answering one of the survey's because I felt left out because I couldn't answer many of the questions, since I'm not bio mom. I really like the questions so far...can't wait!

How about,
Do you and the bio mom get along?
What traits in your step child do you think reflect you?
Are you called mom?
What have you taught your step child that you are most proud of?
Do you have any other children?

I know. I started doing the survey and felt very left out about halfway through.

I guess sometimes I just don't feel like I have the right to claim to be REAL mom because we don't have them all the time and as my family likes to point out - I didn't give birth to them. Thanks for the encouaraging words.

Totally agree!!! At the end of the day you are just as much a mommy as a biological or adoptive mom!!

What do you remember most about the moment you met?

Where did you meet?

How long had you and their dad been dating before you met the child(ren)?

Did they accept you right away?

What is your favorite memory about your time together so far?





I think those are good questions

Megan - posted on 09/08/2009

How long have you been in their lives?

How old were they when you entered their lives?

How many, ages, sex?

That's all I got at the moment.

OOOHHHH!! Sorry I was having a blonde moment! I totally agree! I have Step, Birth and adopted children and sometimes









OOOOHHH!!! Sorry I was having a blonde moment!!! I TOTALLY agree! Who can we speak to about that?! Maybe you can start a new thread and ask all the step moms for suggested questions. Then we can compile a list and answer our own questions!! Good for you! that was a great idea!!!

On the home page they have 20 questions about your pregnancy, when your children were born. What about questions about being a step mom. Like what age where they when you became part of thier lives, challenges, rewards, etc.

I agree... I became involved with my kids when they were 10 and 13 - so no pregnancy, first steps, etc. Now - let's talk about hormones and home work!!! lol

There is nothing "ONLY" about being a step-mom. You are still a mom, and that is ALWAYS important!!! What questions are you referring to?
