""Number one thing I say is get a stepparenting therapist or stepparenting coach, because I got that right when we got engaged, and it's been incredibly helpful for me and also just understanding my role as a stepparent.""
""Because stepparenting, like parenting, has no handbook. Because I have the benefit of being in both roles, stepparenting is extra confusing because you aren't a parent, you're not a nanny, you're not an assistant.""
Katherine Schwarzenegger employed a stepparenting coach before marrying Chris Pratt to better understand her role as a stepmom. During their appearance on a podcast, she emphasized the importance of having a therapist to aid in communication with her stepchild, expressing that stepparenting lacks a guideline. Schwarzenegger noted that her experience as both a parent and a stepparent can be confusing, as neither fully represents her responsibilities. Chris Pratt mentioned that stepparents often don't receive the recognition they deserve in the family dynamic.
