The Wicked Stepmother

If there's anything that's continuously plaguing society has to be the wicked stepmother. Only a few stepmothers are ever tolerable. Most of them? They're pretty evil. Well in the first place, they are mostly women who have become stepmothers by homewrecking, the father divorces his wife and marries the wicked woman then comes in the wicked bitch of a stepmother, who may have been a mistress who bore illegitimate children, sometimes by more than one man then finds a wealthy husband to marry and she becomes a high social climber.

So far here are some characteristics of the wicked stepmother:

• Being good in front of the husband but wicked in front of the stepchildren.
• Favoring one's own biological children to the point that they're not reprimanded for doing wrong while the stepchildren becomes the scapegoats of sorts even for sins the biological children did commit.
• An overly controlling attitude over the stepchildren.
• Keeping the stepchildren away from their father.
• Putting different rules between the children and the stepchildren.
• Refusing to become a mother figure to the stepchildren.
• Interrupting the husband when at phone with her stepchild.
• Jealousy over one's stepchild.
