Step Mom Is Always Eager To Get Down To Action. Step moms and dads can be great parents, but they are often a little overwhelmed with all the crazy things going on in their lives. It’s not easy raising a child – juggling work and home, putting food on the table, and keeping your children safe. One thing that sometimes comes as a result of all this is a mom who becomes almost completely consumed by her work, who pulls back because she’s worried about her children.

If you have a step mother in the family who constantly worries about you, your career, or your job, she can become a risk. One example is if she’s working all night and she forgets to drop you off at the hospital early in the morning. If she does, you could be putting your health – as well as your step kids’ health – in danger if you don’t get there quickly. If you’re always thinking about her and pulling your hair out over this one problem, chances are she’ll develop another attitude where she thinks everything is her fault, and she’ll be pulling even harder.
You don’t want to become a victim of your step mom’s emotional roller coaster. You want to make sure that you spend time with her, that you give her the attention she needs (even if she doesn’t seem worth it sometimes), and that you spend time with your other kids as well. The more time you spend with her, the less stressed you will be – and the less she’ll be pulling your hair out. When you get into an argument with her, just calmly ask her why she got you into that situation in the first place. If she can tell you the real reason, it will save you from a future episode.
