Tips to blend your family – Be Yourself
Be Yourself!
Do not try to be someone other than who you are. Initially you should not try to “parent” your new step-children. You are not their parent and they will resent you for assuming the role of their father/mother. Instead, the biological parent should continue to set limits with their children. As a step-parent you can backup your partner by enforcing these boundaries. There may be qualities of a friendship but both the children and step-parent must remember that they have an adult-child relationship, not an equal friendship.
