Another exciting episode of my — I think– funny web series I did with Cafemom studios. This one is features my dear stepson Oliver. He is not an actor by nature, but he was a good sport– and I paid him– to take part in this spoof of my pathetic attempts to be the B parent I can be.
NOTE: the dub of him saying “mom” at the Dodger game was added in a later edit. Not his voice, nor would he ever say that to me. He has a mom. I’m always Daphne. Or “stepmommy dearest”, maybe. I think they needed to do that since I shot that part myself and the sound and picture were not optimum.
My teen-aged son recently told me that he had a girlfriend (he’s 14 and in the 8th grade). I was thrilled that he’d actually tell me, so I said, “Are you going to kiss her?” And he said, “Maybe.” And I said, “Well, let it stop there.” And he said, “Mom, please.” And then he walked away.
I found this video hilarious.
thank you! yeah, that age wants NOTHING to do with mom except to feed, etc
How to be a mom is a great series. I’m waiting for the next one.
Great vid, You seem like the ideal step mom. I find the role a challenge but watching what you have to say and blog on the subject gives me hope!
it is challenging. I don’t have the moments of pain and seething..
meaning on tape
Wonderful and funny. Kudos to your stepson, too. Loved the headphones in the car. Perfect.
From a step-mom of several, and now all grown up. They still speak to me.
Wow- that was seriously hilarious. The hopping on the sofa made me spit up my coffee. I guess I am lucky with my step- daughter who is nearly 16. If anything she tells me too much- showed me a picture of her kissing her boyfriend last weekend…almost threw up as i yelped “Don’t show your dad!” Maybe you can address that sometime…
OMG – I missed this one – hilarious!! I was laughing hard. I’m going to watch it again. Thank you for being so talented!!
