What this episode covers

Summer always sounds magical… until the custody schedules change, the kids are home 24/7, your routines disappear, and suddenly your house feels louder, messier, and a lot less like your own.In this episode, Alyssa and Becca open up about what summer really feels like as a stepmom, the pressure to make memories, plan activities, keep everyone entertained, manage different parenting styles, and somehow not lose yourself in the process. From camp chaos and screen-time guilt to relationship stress and burnout, this is the conversation stepmoms need before summer officially begins.Because sometimes being a stepmom in the summer doesn’t feel like sunshine and family memories… it feels like emotional overtime.✨ Big Ass Candles | www.bigassluxuries.com and use the code STEPMOM for a discount✨ COZY EARTH | ⁠www.cozyearth.com⁠ and use code STEPMOM✨ Get Out | www.getout.com and use code STEPMOM✨ Pateron private stepmom membership: ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/Stepmomsidechats⁠⁠✨ Follow us on Instagram for more stepmom content and to stay connected for future episodes ⁠⁠@stepmomsidechats⁠⁠✨ Leave us a review if this episode resonated with you, this helps us reach more stepmoms.
