Blended Life: Step Parenting Expectations in Blended Families

Buckle up because on this episode of our #blendedlife podcast we talk about #stepparent expectations in our #blendedfamilies…..for the first time as a couple…on air and with cameras rolling! May I recommend having this conversation in the beginning and not while being recorded LOL! Being a step parent is not for the weak, that’s for sure. It is very necessary to sit down with your spouse, if there are step children involved, and discuss what your expectations are for the step parent of the family. Husband and wife need to be on the same page about the roles in the household so that the parent and step parent both feel supported, heard and understood. The more you can pave the road you are on with a mutual understanding about how you expect your household to be run, the smoother the ride will be. Do not forgo this conversation to avoid conflict! Enjoy!

The Purpose

Why is talking about blended families and life in general important? Because we believe that we can do better than what statistics say about second marriages lasting, about blending families making it, that’s why! A 70% divorce rate statistic for remarriages with children is simply unacceptable! Spreading life lessons, passing along wisdom gained from experience and bringing to light what is often happily left in the dark to hide, is how we all can learn to be better, to do better the second time around (in a blended family many lives depend on it). Together we can avoid costly mistakes that will end in the demise of our precious families.
