​The Concept: I agree with blending families. It’s a complex journey, but it gives everyone a second chance at building a loving home. ​The Dealbr FCeaker: A total lack of respect for personal boundaries. Without respect, the "blend" never happens. ​The Adjustment: Children definitely have it harder. They didn't choose the change, so we must be patient with their pace. ​Love vs. Rules: Love is the soul of the family, but consistent rules are the backbone that keeps things peaceful. ​Discipline: I believe discipline should come from the biological parent until a strong, trusting bond is formed with the step-parent.
