Скачать или смотреть How to Blend a Family of 10 (4 Kids + 4 Kids) Without Creating “Step” Drama | Taryna & Greg Nolan

Blending families is hard—especially when you’re combining 4 kids + 4 kids and trying to create one home that actually feels like ONE team.

In this episode of Don’t Screw Up Your Kids, I’m joined by my cousins Taryna Nolan and Greg Nolan, a real-life “Brady Bunch” blended family of 10. They break down what most people don’t talk about: how they built trust with the kids, avoided the “step” labels, handled custody stress, and created a family culture where the kids proudly say, “That’s my brother. That’s my sister.”

If you’re a parent dating someone with kids, remarried, co-parenting, or trying to keep peace while building a new family—this conversation is a blueprint.

In this episode, we talk about:

How to blend 8 kids into 1 family identity (without forcing it)

Why “step” labels can create division—and what to say instead

The routines that create stability (calendar systems, roles, communication)

How consistency builds trust when kids have been through conflict

What it really takes to fight for your kids during custody battles

The power of a supportive partner in the middle of family pressure

Why showing up matters more than what anyone says about you

How they’re building a community + podcast to help other blended families
