I felt the need to reshare last years most popular episode! I heard from a number of stepparents how difficult it was for them to practice the NACHO parenting style. These individuals had a difficult time embracing the the idea of "not my kid, not my problem." The issue of adopting this approach to parenting is the reality that you cannot be commited and faithful within your unique role, while also believing that the challenges within your home require you to be less than your best. Whether step or biological, as parents we function within certain limits. Regardless of the extent of our bounds, our job is to love, instruct, and shape our kids for their sake, not our own.
