The Second-Hardest Job

           
           When ever you feel like giving up on your step kids, think back to all the happy and grateful moments you've had with them. This will really help the job of being a step parent so much easier. Even though it will not be easy, the risk will not cost anything.
Step parenting can be one hard job for a woman but also can bring lots of joy afterwards. Tina Boscha says that she became a stepparent for two girls. She had married a guy with kids and had good relationship with these girls mother. I believe that if a biological parent is going to be away from the family, the kids should always go with their other parent. That will discard the possibility of becoming a hard task. Now on the other hand, if the stepparent does not mind being with the kids, there are moments when it does become hard. Even though the role of being a real parent can be easy, most of the time the person can go insane. They might not know how to play the role. In my experience, since I have been taking care of my siblings since I was a kid, I kind of know how to work it out. Being a stepparent is like being a babysitter, they are not your kids but you still take good care of them. It may be hard but if you are used to the role, it becomes a much easier task to do. 
According to Tina Boscha, in the essay “The Second-Hardest Job”, being a stepparent is one hard job for a woman. Boscha did not know when she was considered being a stepparent until the kids used the word “mommy”. Both Boscha and her stepdaughter’s mother work as a team and co parent.  She believes that if her husband is not there, it would make it difficult for her to be a parent for his kids. She also tries to make the best out of it whenever she has the kids to herself. Being a step mom is not so easy but Boscha knows that she will have to be a stepmom for the rest of her life. It will not be hard for her to keep up with this role so she will make it work. http://thisibelieve.org/essay/7303/

Being a step parent can be hard, but there can always be solutions to it. Treating them like your kids can be the best solution to make this job easier to handle. This job doesn’t always have to be hard, as long as you know how to handle it.
