In today’s society, the concept of a blended family is not at all uncommon. Many potential mates already have children, either living with them, the other parent, or maybe with other relatives. And it may not always be just children: in-laws, nieces, nephews, etc., may also be included. Because of this, the “family” that you may have envisioned (the one with Mom and Dad and 2 ½ children that come five to ten years after you’re married) may not be what you get. You may end up with a ready-made family, none of which you’ve raised. And contrary to popular belief, raising children is not the hardest thing in the world. Raising other people’s children is! In “The Blended Family… Making Sense,” we will examine some of the different ways a family can be comprised, and how to help make the “blend” as smooth as possible. You’ll hopefully find it to be easily understandable and practical, enough so you can say, “Yeah, that makes sense,” and can see how you can apply it to your own situation. And remember, just because you don’t start as a blended family doesn’t mean you may not end up as one!
