I have a question for you.  What would you do if your stepchild came to you and said that she wanted to get a dog… and bring it back and forth between mom's house and dad’s house.  So essentially, not only would you be co-parenting a child… you’d be co-parenting a dog, too! As crazy as it sounds, it was the reality for today’s guest - stepmom and writer Chloe Caldwell - when her stepdaughter asked if she could get a dog (that travelled right along with her between mom and dads house!) The outcome? Well it shocked her more than anyone and even landed her and her stepdaughter in the New York Times.  In this episode Chloe tells us the story of her biggest stepfamily stressor yet… and what it taught her about parenting and step-parenting.   For more from Chloe visit www.chloesimonne.com For more from Jamie Scrimgeour visit www.jamiescrimgeour.com Follow along on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jamiescrimgeour Follow along on Facebook: www.facebook.com/scrimgeourjamie Join the Exclusive Stepmom Community: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/membership For more resources from Jamie: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/stepmomsupport
