Stepfamilies: Why do we feel so differently about stepkids versus our own?

In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, hosts Lori and David get real about the honest, sometimes awkward truths of parenting in blended families.

Tune in for relatable stories and candid conversations about how Lori and David each navigated the differences in parenting their biological kids and stepkids: from fixing breakfast, handling car insurance stress, and reacting to cereal bowls left on the counter. You'll hear them wrestle with those moments when their feelings and priorities aren't the same for "yours" and "mine," and why that's natural, not shameful. The hosts share personal experiences with their grandkids and step-grandkids, discussing the guilt and expectations that come with loving stepchildren, and reflect on how relationships evolve as the kids grow up.

Listeners will learn:

• Why step and bio parents often react differently—and why that's normal

• How to approach car insurance, chores, and family events without losing your mind

• Tips for discussing expectations around finances, discipline, and love in a blended family

• The impact of child support, and how family structure changes from one generation to the next
