Description

Explore the complexities of blending families, including navigating different parenting styles, sibling rivalry vs. bullying, and the challenge of being fair with both biological and stepchildren. 

Lori & David share practical advice on empowering kids to handle conflicts, the realities of “fairness” in stepfamily life, and why adult behavior matters just as much as the kids’. 

Tune in for relatable stories, honest reflections, and tools to help your own blend thrive!

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Biases and Parental Perception
  • "Tit for Tat" Dynamics and Parental Stalemates
  • Exploring Resentment & Underlying Issues
  • The Reality of Fairness in Blended Families

 

Takeaway:

Being 100% "fair" between biological and stepchildren is extremely difficult, if not impossible, given the natural biases and different relationships.
