009: C. Chenevert|Avoid 'Evil Stepmom' – How to Navigate the Stepmom Role When Parenting Teens

Jennifer Diepstraten interviews Claudette Chenevert, the Stepmom Coach, about the roles and expectations of bringing in a new parent (stepparent) with teenagers and how to navigate the stepmom role.  She addresses questions such as, “What level of parenting or interaction is appropriate for my fiancé to have with my 14-year old son (from a previous relationship)?”  “How do I feel welcome in my home as a new stepmom?” and “Which parent should be the disciplinarian when you have teenagers?” 

 

Claudette shares from her vast knowledge about relationships, communication, and stepparenting to help stepmoms craft a vision of the kind of marriage and family they want to have, so that everyone feels safe in their home, like they belong, and that they have a sense of control.
