Table of Contents

There are more step-parenting situations and blended families now in society than there ever has been around the world and yet the idea of raising someone else's children is not so new.

It is a phenomenon that has been practiced among many cultures but is something that is usually typified by grandparents raising young children so that the parents can either have more children or continue with their own employment.

Blending two family units is usually something that can be quite stressful for all involved. There are not only the dynamics and personalities of the individuals to consider (adult and children) but also the needs and demands of ex-spouses and partners that often bring an unwanted element of stress into the lives of two people who decided to create their own version of the Brady Bunch.

But it is not all bad news. With a little bit of tact, a spot of diplomacy and some strong communication skills not only is it possible to have a happy new blended family unit; but it is something that can be truly enjoyed by everyone in it.

In this guide, you will learn some of the basic steps it takes to first get over the hurdle of meeting your "new" children and then how to deal with them in specific situations when you are all sharing your living space.

Most problems in a family unit can be dealt tactfully and with a lot of love, but we will also cover some situations that do require firmer handling and what you should and should not do if those incidences arise in your own home.

So, let's get started so that you can create some harmony in your blended family home.

For those of us old enough to remember, The Brady Bunch was a 1970s sitcom about a woman with three girls who meets and marries a man with three boys.

Now they didn't have messy little sidebars like ex-spouses and partners to contend with, but as a viewer I always used to think that even if they did, the six happy children would still take it all in their stride and just accept whatever they were told to do.

Nowadays things are a little different. Children are not usually the primary focus when you first start dating after a divorce or breakup.

You will meet a guy/girl and have at least a couple of dates before the whole "perhaps you should meet the children" option even comes up. This is one of the key areas where a lot of problems in step parenting get started.

So, let's start with the introduction phase first.

Parents have two fundamental flaws:

They think their children are perfect in every way.
