I came across them on Facebook somehow (https://www.facebook.com/StepMomMagazine) and really like some of their little tips and article pieces. I am thinking about subscribing but was hoping for some feed back, if anyone has any, before I subscribe. Thanks!

Does it come in paper form? Does it have awesome headlines on the cover like "Why you feel like everyone in your house disrespects you" so that you can leave the magazine lying around? hehe

"You are right! Your Stepkids aren't washing their hands after wiping and are putting germs in your food when they touch the communal pasta bowl!!!"

"You aren't the only woman who loses interest in a man when he lets his ex-wife hold his balls in her purse"

We could have a lot of fun with this.

This was one of my favorite tid-bits Smile

"To his ex-wife you represent the woman he became a better man for. Let's be honest, if your husband is happy, she's going to notice. And if he's treating you like the love of his life, she's really going to notice. More than a few moms express their insecurities by saying 'Why didn't he think I was good enough to do x, y and z? Why wasn't I worthy of being treated like that?' She sees him being the man with you that she always wished he had been with her, and that's a hard pill to swallow." -Jenna Korf in her article "The Ex Factor: She Doesn't Hate You. She Hates What You Represent". Find it inside the April issue: www.StepMomMagazine.com

THIS!!!

My DH has told me that several times! Even went as far as saying, "You're pregnant. You're just hormonal. SD8 really isn't that bad."

"You are divorced! How to cut the cord". Best I could come up with, but wanted to give it a try.

Love it.
We are heading into territory of my new magazine idea:
"Divorced Dad" This would be an excellent headline for that magazine.

Anne Boleyn - my favourite was "Bedtimes: Not Just for Intact Families!"

If this mag is online I may be able to get it too, sounds worthwhile, how much is it? (am assuming it would be in US$)

I think that was my fave too. Thanks.

It looks like $48 USD for one year. Looks like a good thing. As much as I like to Bitch, moan, rant, etc... I really do want good advice and believe we can make it work. I think I will subscribe.

It's amazing that we spend so much time, money and energy on this. Meanwhile the dudes are all off spoiling their kids.
