There are millions of stepmothers working hard on their family relationships and Stepmother Love is an inspiring collection of stories – including that of Sara Leonardi-McGrath – that will uplift, help and support any woman who is doing the toughtest parenting gig of all, as well as acknowledge their tough role and the courage it takes to make it work.
Being a stepmother myself I could relate to many of the thoughts and feelings expressed by in the book.
A great insight into the role of a stepmum, I will put this one on the shelf and revert back to i I am sure when I face situations in our own lives later on.
I really enjoyed this book. I REALLY enjoyed this book.
“It is so refreshing to read the alternative narrative portrayed by the stepmothers, as they describe their experiences in fulfilling a role that, throughout history, has been portrayed negatively”
Having been a stepmother for the last 14 years, I found I could relate to almost all the situations and stories. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a step-parent, knows a step-parent or has a step-parent.
Stepmother Love is a wonderful resource for anyone starting a relationship with someone who has kids from a previous relationship or who wants to understand someone they know in one. There are so many factors involved with step parenting. The dynamics of a relationship can be completely different when there are the extra issues that come with a partner not being able to leave their past behind them.
In the beginning of a traditional relationship, its is often true that the new couple cant get enough of each other. They each have the others undivided attention. If one of those people has children, the other has to accept that they will never have the undivided attention of their partner. Sort of like the ‘elephant in the room’. You can never think that it will ever be all about you. You cannot ever expect a parent to put you before their children. If there is any sense of insecurity, the relationship will not run smoothly, there will be resentment, jealousy and ultimately the demise of the relationship.
In the format of the book, I will tell a brief version of my Story of Stepmother Love.
My husband (lets call him John) had his first child at 19 (lets call her Tia). John and the mother (lets call her Sara) separated when the Tia was 8 months old and she had another child with her new partner.
John and I started dating when Tia was 5. I was 16. I had always wanted to have kids so the fact that John had a daughter was a bonus to me.
We both fell in love hard and fast. I was still at school and had many friends telling me not to get involved with an older man with a child. I’m glad I didn’t listen to them.
I was mature enough to know that I would never be put before the child. I never put him in a position where he had to choose. I found I was accepted by his adorable, smart, sweet daughter very quickly. I loved the fact that I was a ‘16 year old step mum’. I relished the ‘family’ time and although I never tried to be Tias ‘mum’ (she would often accidentally call me Mum though) I knew that I needed her to respect me and my role in her life early on. I had Johns support and he would tell her, “you are to do as you are told from either of us”, and so on.
Despite this, I was not mature enough to understand the dynamics of the relationship between John and Sara, nor the fact that there was another child involved. I always respected that fact that regardless of what I thought of Sara, she was Tias mother. I have a wonderful relationship with my own mother and would hate anyone who said a bad word about her.
I look back now and feel terrible about how judgemental I was of Sara. I had the ‘hate the ex’ mentality from high school. I hated how long it would take for drop off’s and pick ups. I would question John on why, who and what on every occasion. Not because I didn’t trust him, but because I couldn’t understand why it took so long. I gradually learnt that it was mostly because the ‘joys’ of having more then one child. The dynamics of having a ‘part time’ child and a ‘full time’ child are totally different. The main cause of the delays was coming from the sister who hated the fact that Tia was being ‘taken away’ all the time. It was heart breaking.
There were many ups and down over the years but we never really had any major problems.
When Tia was 14, she came to live with us full time. Something I had always hoped she would do. Some said the timing was bad because I was pregnant with my first child but I could not be more grateful for the extra set of hands. There were a few ups and downs while we worked out the difference between ‘part time’ and ‘full time’ parenting. John and Tia have a beautiful relationship and communicate in the same quiet, easy going manner. I on the other hand am totally different to her. It took me a while to realise that she was not the same ‘kind’ of teenager that I was. Whether it was due to her interesting upbringing, or not, she would behave in and react to situations completely differently to what I expected. When there was an issue, I would react the way my mother would have if it were me, which would result in Tia and I fighting and her storming off. I would vent to John, we would discuss the issue and he would deliver the verdict in his placid way. I would be huffing and puffing around waiting for them to have a ‘quiet’ word. They would later appear as if nothing had happened. I never gave her enough credit for how mature she was.
Tia is 20 this year and I could not be more proud of her. She is a caring and loving big sister, a loyal and sensitive friend and a respectful, trustworthy, honest, balanced young adult and I love the fact that I may have played a small (or big) part in how she has turned out.
From reading Stepmother Love, I found myself able to understand the emotions and behaviour of all involved in my own experience. I was able to reflect and see from the perspectives of others. I love that I’m part of the ‘Stepmother Sisterhood’ and I actually feel better about the last 14 years and think I can let go of some resentments and negative emotions that have lingered.
Thank you Sally Collins for writing the book, thank you to all those who told their stories and thank you Mouths of Mums for giving me the opportunity to reflect on an experience that is a major part of my life.
I just started stepmother love this week and was pleasantly surprised to see that it is a collection of short stories who have been there done that do to speak rather than a book written by experts who have no relevant life experience.
I’ve only just started reading and I have to say that this is the books I have been looking for, for near on 8 years! To hear that I am not alone in my thoughts and challenges surrounding being a stepmother is music to my ears. I feel as though I have been heard, validated and no longer feel awkward about my feelings and emotions.
I do hope this book continues to deliver as I continue to turn the pages. We are off to a great start though!
an insight into blended families that's an amazing read
As a “stepmother” myself I found this book to be spot on, it offered me new insight and a variety of different ways that I could be handling a lot of situations .Its an extremely helpful book and unlike any other I’ve read on the topic .Sally Collins has provided the reader with a great selection of views and experiences from different blended family situations and different ways and means of diffusing what are extreme and strained relationships between a stepmother and step children .I loved reading about the 10 different stepmother experiences and felt relief and compassion relating to there troubles and great times . I will be talking non stop about this book for a long time and buying copies to send to every stepmother I know
Just finished reading this book, was so enthralling from page to page! Sally did a wonderful job gathering different women’s perspectives on this sometimes arduous role. Myself being a stepmum found the information a great help, and each story had it’s own take on how to deal with the struggles that come with it.
Thank you so much for the chance to add this great book to my collection ♡
I am halfway through this book and I am really loving it. I can relate to so many of these ladies stories and situations. I am a stepmum of three now teen children and my husband and I have three children 6 and under. As I’ve been sitting there reading Stepmother love I have found myself crying thinking about all the tough times I had and have with my step kids and how I have always just felt like I’m an evil so and so because of how they have sometimes been towards me. I am grateful to know that I am not alone in the thoughts and feelings I have about this. Looking forward to finishing the book.
Really enjoyed reading this book, so enlightening and useful for all stepmothers.
I couldnt put it down, would recommend it to anyone who is faced with this situation, made me feel better about myself and my own experience. 🙂
It’s a great book and it’s easy to read. I like that it is very insightful, because you don’t really hear this kind of perspective on being a stepmother. I really enjoyed it and that it was split into different small chapters, it made it easier to read. I definitely recommend this book to anyone.
What I love most about STEPMOTHER LOVE by Sally Collins is that it is written from the perspective of a real step mother, in the format of short individual stories. It is funny, sad, heart warming, filled with real emotion as Sally finds her feet in playing the role of stepmother.
Never having or been a step mother before I had never given the subject much thought. This book is well written. It drew me in and gave me an insight to what it is like to be a step mum. The stories tug at the heart strings and fill you with emotion. It’s any easy book to read and I would recommend it to any parent to read.

My girlfriend’s a step-mum to 2 and has been for 11years. I’ve only been doing this for 3, well ok, maybe 18mths living together out of that 3. My hair’s a lot greyer and I thought I was going stir crazy, then Jude handed me this book and said she wanted it after I’d finished with it.
I loved the stories, some were nothing like me, and some were. I took bits from all of them and related to some of most of them, if all that makes sense.
Go read it! It can’t hurt can it? Any advise is always gratefully received.
I really enjoyed the practical, honest and heartwarming stories in this book. Having been a stepmother at one time in my life I could identify with many of the thoughts and feelings expressed by the women interviewed. Having said that, each story was different, proving that families are made up of all sorts of combinations, each just as special as the next. This is a book that provides hope, insight and a little laughter to what can be a very stressful yet amazing role. Well done!

As soon as the book arrived – I love the cover and it enticed me to want to read it immediately! So I made myself a coffee and sat down and read, smiled, read some more, nodded my head some, read more, smiled more until I was late for getting dinner ready!! Being a step mum to two children and then having one or my own – I felt at last someone is hearing us!! I cringe when I hear Cinderella and all the other stories where there is always as ‘ wicked stepmother’ -I want to say – where are the fairy stories with a good stepmother – I know there are plenty out there in the ‘real’ world- we are an invisible army, who’s good reads and love go unnoticed.
Having started to read this book – I loved the stories, the mums and could identify so much – I think all stepchildren perhaps should read it!! Thank you for making me feel that my voice is being heard and there are wonderful step mums out there.
The book was well written, easy to read but powerful in what it said and uplifts your spirits while you read about the different stories.
For all you step mums out there – give yourself a big pat on the back – and now my stepchildren have grown and given me grandchildren, I realise that it was all worth it. One of them has turned round and said thanks and that he loves me 🙂 payment enough if you feel you need it. My stepdaughter was always a problem – even before I became her step mum,and we are now good friends. So read this book and take heart – you are doing a great job!
I really enjoyed this book. I REALLY enjoyed this book.

A great book to understand what it’s like to be a step mum……growing up with step parents it has given me an insight of their struggles,etc……and going to give the book to my mum so she can read it.
Really enjoyed reading this book, so enlightening and useful for all stepmothers.

I didn’t realise I would get so emotional reading this book. As a stepmother I found some of these stories resonated with me, some sounded like a cakewalk and others had me gasping in horror and calling my husband to tell him how lucky we are!!
From the light hearted giggles to the angst filled emotion of never “being my real Mum”; these stories capture the rawness like no other. Parenting, whether step or otherwise is incredibly tough & rewards are very seldom felt until a quiet moment of reflection.
These stories depict the daily struggles, fears, anger and doubt and catapults it straight into ypur heart.
Definitely food for thought for every person
Initially I was uninterested in reading stepmother love because the cover was unappealing. However, upon reading the blurb my curiosity was piqued. I found stepmother love easy to read with its larger typeface and the multiple short stories within informative, incisive and a practical resource for all families. Overall, don’t judge this book by its cover as stepmother opened my eyes to the challenging experiences of blended families.
While only half way through this book I am enjoying the open, honest and sometimes frank accounts of life as a stepmother. The stories vary according to each different family situation and I am sure that all stepmothers could find at least one to identify with. It reinforces many feelings that arise in households and are often left unsaid…. will keep reading 🙂

The School Holiday Crowd-Pleasers That Never Fail
School holidays are usually a mix of excitement and mild panic. No lunchboxes (yay!) and no morning chaos. But figuring out how to keep the kids entertained without turning the house upside down or testing your sanity is the flip side!
We’re serving up a couple of fabulous winter school holiday options that are tried-and-true crowd-pleasers – and they feel like a day out for everyone, not just the kids.
Whether you’ve got little ones bouncing off the walls or teens too cool to smile, Zone Bowling and Timezone have something for every age (yes, even you). And with winter weather keeping us mostly indoors, they’re the perfect solution when parks and play centres just aren’t cutting it.
They’re fun, indoors, great value, and actually make you feel like you’ve had a proper day out… not just one of those ‘I need a nap after that’ outings.
Why Zone Bowling And Timezone Always Come Through
There’s something about Timezone that just hits different. The mix of lights, sounds and excitement pulls you in from the second you walk through the doors. You’ll find the latest arcade games, laser tag and bumper cars as well as viral sensations like Pixel and Colourgrid. Basically everything kids could want, all in one (warm) place.
And it’s not just for them. Whether you’re a closet arcade expert or a skill tester freak, it’s very easy to get swept up in the excitement.

Zone Bowling: So much more than just bowling
If you haven’t been to a Zone Bowling in a while, you might be surprised by just how much they’ve packed in. Of course, there’s bowling, with proper shoes and shiny lanes and that satisfying sound of a strike – but that’s just the beginning.
There’s also arcade games, laser tag, food and drink (decent coffee!), plus comfy spaces to hang while the kids run wild. It’s the kind of place where everyone – toddlers, teens, tired parents – can find something to enjoy.

Timezone And Zone Bowling: Kind of Day Out That Doesn’t Feel Like a Chore
Some school holiday outings sound fun in theory, but in practice? You’re exhausted, the kids are cranky, and no one’s really had a great time.
Timezone and Zone Bowling feel different. You’re indoors, warm, everything’s in one place, and you can actually relax while the kids entertain themselves (or team up with you for a round of laser tag). No weather worries, no logistics nightmare. Just good, clean, high-energy fun that ticks everyone’s box.
Ready to swap screen battles for smiles all round? Timezone and Zone Bowling make it happen, every single time – rain, hail or shine. Bring on the holiday fun!
My kids love timezone but I must admit that I am the worse one playing those games there too hahahaha just so much fun but you gotta be careful not to go over the top on those games as they can add up to a load of money being spent
Zone Bowling and Timezone have been a go-to for us too. My kids love going bowling, it’s something we can all enjoy together (plus it wears them out 😂). I also love that we don’t need to book ahead, which makes spontaneous outings so much easier! We’ll be going again right before the school term starts again.
I love places like these but oh boy, its costly. Yeah things like $60 gives you xx amount bonuses but still, $60 is a lot for some families. So going to Timezone is a very rare treat
Yeap school holidays. Best part is sleeping in but trying to find activities for the kids is hard..
Yes there is some great places out there like Timezone but really, who has that kind of money if U have a few kids…
So really what can we do with our kids that doesn’t cost a fortune every time you step out the door !
The kids love going to Timezone, especially after being dragged around the shopping center! With 5 years between them it can be hard to find things they both enjoy but Timezone keeps them both happy, occupied and entertained! It’s also a great way to bribe them while we shop 😂
Our family loves Timezone and kingpin. Theres always so much to do and always new games and toys to try out. It can definitely be costly though as you keep tapping away! We love the unlimited time play packages and often enjoy topping up on those special double dollar days to stretch it further.
We will happily be off to visit Timezone during the holidays for some fun times. We all have favourite games to play. It is such a good idea to stick to a budget when visiting Timezone. Planning before going to Timezone is a good idea and helps to make good decisions and the fun last.
It is absolutely so true! We went to our local timezone yesterday to reward some brave behaviour at the dentist and kick off our holiday fun. We had an absolute blast! The games had all been revamped and there was new stuff everywhere. The prizes are okay.. not great! The price to points could be more kindly proportioned. I mean 1000’s of points for a bag of lollies… Cost us a fortune to get them. Not at all as cost effective for a lot of people. I can only ever afford to get $60 at most and am so grateful for the bonus points at least. But when you consider it as $2.50 min per swipe of your card, you’ll burn through it within the hour. Still, we’ll be back for more joy!
IN fact my husband took the kids bowling today while I was off doing something else – it was a great solution. They had an enourmous amount of fun, it didn’t cost too much, and the timing was just about perfect for my appointment. It’s definitely a great family activity. So Fun.
We really do love going to Timezone for all of the fun activities that we all enjoy playing. Bowling is a firm family favourite activity to play and brings out the competition in all of us. It is a good option for indoor activities and fun for all of the family.
Finding holiday activities is always difficult, especially with teens! Life is so busy that it can be really hard to even think about where to go and what to do, these ideas are going on my list for this holidays entertainment. Thanks Mouth of Mums for making my life easier
Unfortunately, we don’t have anything that good here in Tassie. Our local bowling centre is very expensive and doesn’t have all the extras of some others. They do do school holiday specials though which are okay, but they don’t allow guard rails for adults anymore, so it’s not very fun for me :(.
Another nice one for those who live in Brisbane is Urban Extreme; an ultimate experience of rock climbing, dodge ball, ski lanes, snowboarding, ninja, parkour, laser tag, trampolines, play area and an adventure park all together. With what they offer there is always something also the older kids and possibly parents like
Things like Bounce, Time Zone and Zone Bowling never fail for most, but they are not for everyone; the mix of lights, sounds and excitement can be a massive sensory overload for those who are sensitive for that which can lead to complete panic attacks by some kids. Besides this not everyone likes bowling (we have one family member who really doesn’t like this)
We head to timesone whenever we go near the Gold coast or Sunshine Coast. The kids have the absolute best time. I have not taken the kids bowling in a long time but it is my birthday this week so think it is a fantastic time to give it a go!
Our family loves Timezone!! We definitely call ourselves regulars throughout the year. A great time where we can test our skill at claw machines and have a blast with the kids. My daughter’s favourite is driving me around on the racing game – definitely core memories unlocked! Its so fun all the time.
My kids do enjoy Zone bowling- we’re regular visitors even during term time. And it’s fun for everyone in the family and it’s easy to invite a friend or two to join in if you’re so inclined. Not hard to learn if you’re a b3ginner – and you don’t need equipment either.
Bowling is such a fun thing to do for school holidays with kids, I even picked it as my 10 year birthday treat. Timezone is a classic day out. I remember when the photo booth stickers were new and everyone’s diary was covered in them. We have a carnival in town over the holiday break so that’s out plan! Free entry, woo
