DIVORCE AND BLENDED FAMILIES

Alright guys, this is going to be the last post. My class ended this week. Maybe sometime in the future I'll make a real blog that actually talks about my life. Anyway back to the subject. We were talking about making a blended family after having a divorce and Brother Williams stated that remarried couples are less likely to make it than first time marriage. That statistic took me by surprise at first but it makes sense when you think about it. We also talked about how step-parents should enter the family. We talked about how a step-parent needs to not be like a biological parent, but that they should act more like good aunt or uncle, someone who does not take the lead on discipline, in fact the biological parent should be the one who does all of the hard discipline. Plus, they should always inform the biological parent about what happens. The couple, though, should talk together behind closed doors so that they can be on the same page. This is because the children will listen to the biological parent more than the step-parent. Well, have a great life I might write again much later...
