What it can feel like.
Blending a family brings hope and a new start, along with different rules, routines, loyalties, and histories under one roof.
Without a plan, stepparents can feel shut out, kids can feel caught in the middle, and couples can end up on opposite sides of parenting decisions.
- Tension between stepparents and kids
- Disagreements about discipline and roles
- Kids feeling torn between households
- Couples feeling divided instead of united
