Katie Holmes & Nicole Kidman: Stepmom & Bio-Mom Get Along
The word on celebrity blogs is that Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman are swapping parenting adviceĀ about Isabella, 14, and Conner, 12. Since her marriage to Tom Cruise, Katie has often been photographed at her stepchildren’s soccer games, cheering them on alongside their dad.
Reportedly, Isabella called Katie to discuss a dress she wanted to wear to a party. Katie felt the dress was too grown-up for her, but Isabella said that her mom had ok’ed the dress. Every stepmom now nods with a smile - oh yes, we’ve seen that strategy before!
Katie called Nicole directly to discuss it, and Nicole agreed with her - sorry Bella, no too grown-up dress for the party this time.

That rocks! I am new to your site — I think I found it through a newsletter, but I am loving it already. Thanks for the inspiration!

Dawn,
I enjoy reading your blog and your take on stepfamily life. It’s a tough road. I, too, am glad to see bio-moms and stepmoms get along for the sake of the kids. It’s so hard on all involved, but especially the kids, when this doesn’t happen. My ex-husband and I get along great, but my husband’s ex is impossible. I love your column, as well. You are very insightful.
