Blended Life - A Blended Family Podcast

Blended Life EP. 07: Blended Family Social Interactions


Listen Later

I can think of fewer things more awkward and uncomfortable than being forced around an #exspouse and their new beau; well, welcome to #blendedlife!  Blended life is ALL about unavoidable and inevitable awkward and uncomfortable situations within a blended family.  Nothing seems natural, because it's NOT!  In this podcast we break down how to deal when you are stuck in social situations with your #childrensotherfamily such as sporting events, school functions, doctors appointments, celebrations, etc.  It can fill us with anxiety and make us act a fool.  Most times when we don't know how to handle ourselves in a social environment, we look like a bunch of T-Rex's trying to clap our hands; it's ridiculous.  When we lose ourselves in the drama of a social situation involving our children, we are only harming them.  When parents are present at a function for their kids, it is a giant timeout for the parents to leave the negativity at home in order to be able to jointly celebrate and cheer on the kids.  The kids come first.  If you've ever witnessed a child conflicted about talking to their other parent (whose custody day it isn't) at something as described, I promise you it creates an unsafe and distrusting reality for them.  Kids need to be free to love both their parents, and their steps.  They need to feel free to interact both families at any joint event.  They need both parents to put aside their differences for that time and just be there for them.  If you have confused kids, please listen and we will help you take that awkward sting out of something unavoidable.  Enjoy!

Our Purpose: Why is talking about blended families and life in general important? Because we believe that we can do better than what statistics say about second marriages lasting, about blending families making it, that’s why! A 70% divorce rate statistic for remarriages with children is simply
