Don't you think it's time
for Oprah to do a show titled:
The Truth About Stepmotherhood?
StepMom Magazine has joined forces with authors: Wednesday Martin (Stepmonster), Jen and Carol Marine (No One's the Bitch) and Izzy Rose (The Package Deal) and we are campaigning hard for a show about the New American StepFamily.
Join the stepsisterhood and send the Oprah producers a note. It's super easy! Just copy the sample note we've provided below and click on this link:
Dear Oprah / O-Producer:
As a fan of your show and a woman with stepchildren/divorced mother, I would love to see an Oprah episode on new American families. According to official estimates, by 2010 there will be more stepfamilies in the US than any other type of family!
You recently did a great show on the truth about motherhood. What about the truth about stepmotherhood, and about relationships between wives and ex-wives? American families--especially stepmothers and divorced mothers whose husbands have remarried--face so many challenges.
Please address our reality on a show soon, and consider featuring stepfamily/new family experts and authors:
Wednesday Martin, PH. D, author of Stepmonster: A New Look at Why Real Stepmothers Think, Feel, and Act the Way We Do; Izzy Rose, author of The Package Deal: My (not-so) Glamorous Transition from Single Gal to Instant Mom; Jennifer and Carol Marine, authors of No One’s the Bitch: A Ten-Step Plan for the Mother and Stepmother Relationship; Brenda Ockun, founder and publisher of StepMom Magazine: A monthly, on-line publication and the only magazine exclusively for stepmoms.
Thank you.
