How come there is never an accurate portrayal of Step families on TV?

I have never seen a tv show or movie with an accurate portrayal of what step life is really like. It is the hardest thing a woman will ever do. Kids are mean, birth moms are idiots, and most husbands look the other way. All the while step mom is trying with all her might to make it work. Step moms are so under rated...... Cant someone speak up for us good step moms in the world that only want everyone to get along and be happy. I feel so invisible!

Step Mom with Julia Roberts was a excellent portrayal of real life! I Absolutley HATED one part of that movie though. When BM told the kids dad that she has cancer and he told her she doesn't have to go through it alone. WTF is that all about? So because the x is dying you would leave your new girl, that you are about to ask to marry? Woah.

Also, what was up with all the dinner meetings anyways? My husband could meet with his x for dinner, sure, over my dead body!

We all need to get together and write a movie.

Now there is a reality. Wink

My favorite line so far(my memory of it at least):

Gary: "I was under duress when I signed those (divorce) papers?!?!?!"
ExW: "Under duress!?!?! How do you figure that!?!?!
Gary: "They told me that if I didn't sign them, I had to stay married to you!!!!"

Insert Colorado Girl DYING of laughter...

That is hilarious! I have never seen the show but now I may have to check it out. I have never seen step mom either. Has anyone seen Juno?

Boy, I have to get out more. Smile

I have seen juno and have no idea that the controversy was all about. I thought it was a very good movie.

You mean the Brady's were not an accurate picture of StepFamilies?

Thanks for bursting my bubble. :O
