I do not mean that stepmothers in individual cases are always treated with aversion or dislike. Many of these excellent women are exceedingly successful in the difficult work they have taken up, and they are rewarded for their labor and care by the fond love of the children in their homes and by the respect of all who know them. A stepmother has three sets of people to please, if not more. She * must commend herself to her husband and his children, to the husband's relations and the relations o...f his first wife, the children's own mother. After that she must run the gauntlet of criticism from her neighbors and townspeople, and even from strangers, for wherever she goes accompanied by her stepchildren the eyes of those upon her will take note of any defect in manner or any little irritability; above all things, of any difference she may happen to make between her own children and those to whom she is acting as mother in step relationship. An own mother may be impatient and unjust and no one observes it, but the slightest dereliction on the part of a stepmother calls forth pity for the children, poor things, and pitiless comment upon the woman who is supposed to have married her husband only to regard his children as a burden.
