Description

When it comes to parenting stepkids, it can feel like every decision is a test. Say no, and you risk seeming cold or unloving. Say yes, and you might feel like you're being a pushover. How do you stay consistent without becoming the ‘mean parent’? And what about the ‘fair police’, those kids who keep score and expect everything to be exactly equal? In this episode, Lisa and the Council of Moms—Brittney Phillips, Liz Palmer, and Tammy Hall—tackle the tricky balance of parenting in blended families. They open up about the pressure to prove loyalty, how to handle different expectations, and why real love includes setting boundaries and saying no when needed.
