65: Other People’s Kids


Listen Later

Kids. Children. Offspring. Yours, mine, and ours. 


This week we tackle the topic of living with kids that aren't biologically yours . We are going to use the term step-parent even though many of the stories and situations do not necessarily involve marriage between the couple.


  • Buidling a relationship with a step-child,

  • Blended families and becoming a step-parent,

  • How do these kids react and behave?

  • The Brady Bunch Illusion - expectations versus reality 

  • Gender:


    • How a man bonds with kids,

  • How a woman bonds with kids,

  • The gender of the child in relation to the gender of the step-parent,

  • The age of the child/children will have a great impact on the relationship between the other person's kid(s) and the new step-parent.


    Discipline styles also differ and this can have an affect on the child. Supper, homework, and bedtime routines can be vastly different.


    Remember: communication, tolerance and understanding.
