Any advice for a new wife and step mom? I know being a wife/step mom can be rewarding but also very stressful...You’re working 40 hours a week, cooking, cleaning, helping take care of the kids, balancing bills, making sure you please your soon to be husband in the bedroom who claims our sex isn’t spontaneous (I had to remind him that our work schedules are opposite and when he is off work he has his kids, therefore we are limited to the bedroom which can become so boring!!!). Being a new mom/wife on top of planning a wedding is stressful. I feel like I’m overwhelmed and is losing the “rewarding” sight of this process. I’m 27, never been married, and don’t have biological children but will be taking on 2 kids (10 & 7 years old) who will be with us 50% of the time due to 50/50 custody between my fiancé and their mom. I adore the children but being a step mom is also challenging and new...Plus their mom is considering giving up her rights, which means I could potentially have them 100% of the time. I not use to finding babysitters, making doctors appointments, etc. I don’t want to lose myself in this new life...any advice? Any ideas on hobbies that don’t include my fiancé and kids? Anyways to have spontaneous sex when two kids are in the house? Is it possible to still have “me” time even when married?
