Ways to communicate and keep each other (you and your spouse) in the loop when it comes to the kids, their schedules and happenings between the two homes. Is being in a group text with the ex a good idea?  Should schedule changes be discussed in house before being agreed to with the other?  How should you address your spouse when they forget to inform you of things concerning their children on a regular basis? When your ex refuses to acknowledge or engage in seeking medical help for your child; how can you make them come around and take things as seriously as is deserved? When your ex frames medication as “bad” to your child; how to handle that?!  A true medical condition versus an undisciplined child? When your partner accuses you of being a bad parent and can’t deal with your child’s outbursts, and disagrees with how you handle misbehavior, can a blended family really work out under those conditions? How to say no to the expectation of watching your step child in the absence of both parents when you feel it is unsafe? How to deal with the frustration of allowing the ex to skip out on their responsibilities and not hold them accountable for their actions or lack of.

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 unacceptable! Spreading life lessons, passing along wisdom gained from experience and bringing to light what is often happily left in the dark to hide, is how we all can learn to be better, to do better the second time around (in a #blendedfamily many lives depend on it). Together we can avoid costly mistakes that will end in the demise of our precious families.   -Blended Life
