One year and nearly 500 members later, I'm in awe of the progress the site has made. If I don't do anything else in life, I will be satisfied knowing I helped my fellow stepmoms find a place where they can vent and find stepmom friends.
About 6 weeks ago, I wanted to find out a little more about my fellow Stepchicks. I know a few of my Stepchicks friends in person or on the phone, but I was hungry to know more. How old are? Are you a new stepmom or a veteran? What and why do you look to Stepchicks for advice?
The following are the results of the survey. Obviously, I can't list every minute detail, but I can provide some top level results that offer some indication of the types of ladies you'll find on Stepchicks.

While googling for resources, I found an article from May of 1944 from the Milwaukee Sentinel about a woman who married a widower. She had the same martyr and role ambiguity issues that women deal with today and it astounds me that after all these years...we haven't really progressed much. Becoming a stepmom has really impressed on my how the family really was designed to be husband/wife and their children.
