Blended families require special care and attention, but are certainly well worth the effort. It isn't always a simple task to combine two families, but the real moms at Type-A Mom provide real life advice on blending families.
Blended families are rarely free of the holiday season. No, I don't just mean Thanksgiving through Christmas - I'm talking about all those other days most families take for granted as being low-key, non-stressful events like Easter, Mother's Day, Memorial Day, Father's Day, 4th of July, etc. Tags: holidaysvisitationvisitation schedulesdivorceeffects of divorce on kidscustodycustody schedule
I was a "Step/Bonus mom" before my daughter was born. So when Mother's Day would come around it would be a big letdown. Now, I have to put this out there, because a lot of GOOD stepmothers out there are getting the short end of the stick!
