The "Pitfalls" of Step Parenting and "Blended" Families:



This could be any family..... consider a nice looking blend of histories like yours. Two paths crossing with baggage we know not the extent of until we collide our lives together! We can make it because we love each other! Sound familiar?

Each person in the mix brings in their own set of emotional injuries that are not our fault. How much pain they bring into the union may not be apparent at first. Too bad there is not a list of red flags handed to us when we sign the marriage license!

Some common pitfalls in blending families:



  • We need a bigger car! (true)


  • We need a bigger house! (true)


  • Everyone needs their own TV set! (true)


  • Some children may stop at nothing to sabatoge the new marriage relationship! (true)


  • Some children will lie about the step parent and get them put in jail alledging sexual abuse! (nahhh...not my kids.....WRONG....it's TRUE...this can happen to you!)




Read on..... HELP! PLAN AHEAD FOR BLENDED FAMILIES!!!!!!!
