Blended Life - A Blended Family Podcast

A blended family is such an important topic because it’s dealing with so many lives, not just that of you and your spouse. You have your kids and your spouses kids of course, but you also have the other sets of parents to contend with (if there is shared custody). With so many cooks in the kitchen, it can make sanity hard to come by on some days. We can lose our way in the midst of chaos, jealousy, insecurity, frustration, anger, confusion, miscommunication, and power struggles. This podcast is dedicated to lessons my husband and I have learned from previously being married, divorced, parenting, co-parenting, step-parenting, blending a family, re-marrying, surviving daddy issues (me not him lol), going through years of therapy (again, me not him ha), having a relationship with God, listening to and absorbing wisdom from others, and having some of the best friends anyone could hope for! It is our hope that this offers all who take the time to read what we have to say, a perspective that makes for consideration or just some good-old-fashioned food-for-thought. If we can save one person, or couple, from any of our many mistakes, it would mean more than any treasure ever could.

Holiday Boundaries and Fairness in a Blended Family

On this episode of Blended Life you will hear Eric and Julie discuss boundaries that may need to be created to create a positive experience during the holiday season. The point of boundaries is to protect; in this case we focus on protecting the well-being of the family and also each individual person in it. We hope that this episode will spark meaningful conversation between you and your spouse to set your marriage and family up for success during this busy and chaotic time of year.

Before we dive into all that, we answer a listener's email seeking advice on step parenting and finding fairness in discipline and respect. Eric gives really good perspective on time and Julie takes on the topic of fairness and how you may come about it in a non-traditional way.

We hope you enjoy this episode and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
