To be sure a stepmother to a girl is a different thing to a second wife to a man!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am a stepmother to the fullest extent.
Being a stepmother has worked out very well for me. I love my stepchildren very much.
Being the father of girls is a kind of illness, in its own way - since any guy who has tried to live in a house with a wife and two daughters is, without any doubt, going to go certifiably nuts.
Nature, more of a stepmother than a mother in several ways, has sown a seed of evil in the hearts of mortals, especially in the more thoughtful men, which makes them dissatisfied with their own lot and envious of another's.
Women are at last becoming persons first and wives second, and that is as it should be.
Any woman knows that it takes two people to be a good parent.
A day is sometimes our mother, sometimes our stepmother.
I never had that wicked stepmother or evil stepfather thing at all. I'm very close to both step-parents and I consider them to be my parents, too.
There was no convincing me that a stepmother could be anything but a wicked ogre, and I acted accordingly.
Better a serpent than a stepmother!
