Hi all step-mums out there,

I have been looking and have not found a group for step-mums in Sydney (eastern suburbs), so i thought i'd set one up.

I imagine it to be a safe, easy place to have a glass of wine & chat about any issues we're facing and get tips from like-minded people who have been there before (not a place to bitch about the ex, though sometimes i feel like it!).

I have first hand knowledge that being the 'evil step-mother' isn't always fun and it's not easy to discuss with friends who are not in the same situation.

I propose a meeting before Christmas and every few months thereafter.

Let me know if you're interested.

Sounds like we have some takers. Does anyone have a preference on dates?

I suggest afternoon drink/nibbles in Sydney's CBD (Circular Quay or Darling Harbour) on either:
-9 Nov '13,
-23 Nov '13, or
-30 Nov '13.

Let me know and i'll organise. We'll go with the majority.

Hi LLady

I know your post is quite old now (2013) but I too am searching for an Sydney eastern suburbs support group for stepmothers, and can't seem to find anything suitable.

How have you found the journey since you suggested setting up a group 4 years ago?
