Blending families can come with a lot of challenges and fears.
The fears exist before the 2 families decide to live in one home.
Will my partner love my children?
Will I be able to stay calm if my partner corrects my child?
Will I be able to communicate with my partner without getting frustrated once we are living together?
Will all our children get on when they all live together?
How do we juggle meeting all their sporting games?
What will meal times be like?
Will we struggle to get them to school on time?
You can’t have all the answers and you don’t need to work it all out today.
When you love each other you will work through the issues together.
You can also decide only to discipline your own children and support your partner when they’re disciplining their own children.
Don’t expect all the children to get on all of the time. This is unrealistic.
Leave your self available for all the children when they need to talk about problems they are struggling with.
Try to take time out individually at least with one child at a time.
Don’t expect your children to automatically be settled with sharing you with another family all of the time.
