Things to Consider When Becoming a Blended Family

by | Sep 14, 2017 | Features

Blending two families can be a challenge, but a rewarding one. Give individual attention to your partner, your relationship, as well as each of your kids. Be sure to uphold family traditions in addition to making new ones. Before moving, be prepared, get the kids involved, and it could also be a good idea to have some trial slumber parties with the new siblings. With your partner, be open and honest about parenting styles, finances, and come to an agreement.

Key Takeaways:

  • Make sure you remember your relationship is what started this blended family.
  • Make time to be with the families individually.
  • Try it our first with a slumber party etc.

“If you each decide to have some discretionary money for your kids, that’s fine — just be aware of any possible perceptions of inequity between the kids.”
