A strict stepmother is someone who is very strict and controls everything. She is like a drill sergeant, and expects perfection from everyone. She is very critical and judgemental, and never gives anyone the benefit of the doubt. She is also very controlling and doesn't allow anyone to express themselves freely or be themselves. She is harsh, strict, and rigid, and she makes everyone conform to her expectations and rules. She is cold and unfeeling, and she never shows warmth or compassion.
