Original: What Does ‘Bonus Mom’ Mean? Experts Break Down This Modern Family Role
A stepmother is increasingly called a 'bonus mom', a term meant to frame the role positively rather than as a replacement parent. Parenting experts explain that it describes a mother figure who supports a partner's children, often chosen by the family itself. Discussion centres on whether the label helps blended families or downplays the complexities of step-parenting.
Why now: The term is trending as blended families seek warmer language for step-parent roles and experts weigh in on its meaning.
