In this episode Katie talks to Sarah*
Sarah describes herself as "not particularly child friendly" and actively did NOT want to date someone with children, however when a casual fling turned into love she found herself suddenly dealing with the prospect that the guy she'd fallen for was recently separated with three young children.
Sarah shares openly how there were points she wished the children didn't exist and how she fantasised about it just being her and her husband living a life of travel and romance. She also talks about how she battled with her feelings of not wanting a stepfamily set up for herself, despite the fact her stepchildren were really nice, well behaved kids.
Sarah talks about the adjustment of being single and child free to becoming a stepfamily and all living together and how there was so much she had to learn and how she regrets moving at such a pace to bring them all under the same roof.
I'm very grateful to Sarah to sharing so candidly her negative feelings about not wanting to be a stepmum and not being interested in adopting a stepmother relationship with her stepchildren but at the same time making decisions with them front of mind.
