Blended Life EP. 02: Dating with children

54m · Blended Life - A Blended Family Podcast · 21 Jun 02:00

Dating when you are a divorced #singleparent is tough.  There’s so much to consider, to navigate and SO many land mines to avoid to becoming happy while keeping your children safe.  In our #blendedfamily there has been a lot we’ve done imperfectly, but we did the single parent dating part pretty mindfully and respectfully when it came to our children and our exes (in our humble opinion anyway lol).  If you are curious at all about what #dating life looks like when there are kids involved after divorce, this podcast is a goldmine of experience and advice.  We promise, if you listen all the way through you will have a better handle on ways to set everyone involved up for success for dating with kids.

Our Purpose: Why is talking about blended families and life in general important? Because we believe that we can do better than what statistics say about second marriages lasting, about blending families making it, that’s why! A 70% divorce rate statistic for remarriages with children is simply unacceptable! Spreading life lessons, passing along wisdom gained from experience and bringing to light what is often happily left in the dark to hide, is how we all can learn to be better, to do better the second time around (in a #blendedfamily many lives depend on it). Together we can avoid costly mistakes that will end in the demise of our precious families.   -Blended Life

Blended Life EP. 170: Step Parenting Red Flags

Step Parenting Red Flags

On this episode of Blended Life, we break down three of our listener's step parenting experiences and give them our perspective on how to move forward. From different parenting styles to defining your role and taking responsibility for your choices in what you allow and take on, we push and challenge these three individuals (and hopefully you too) to recognize the red flags of step parenting and do something about it! We hope this discussion inspires you to feel empowered and to seek out support if you need it. Step parenting is hard and often renders its participants powerless, frustrated and confused; hopefully we've spoken into this enough this episode to get you thinking differently. This is our final episode of 2023, and so, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May you be blessed; we want the best for every blended family out there. We'll see you all on the flip side in 2024! Enjoy!

Blended Life EP. 168: Navigating the Coparenting Journey

Two Homes, One Love: Navigating the Coparenting Journey

On this episode of Blended Life, we answer three of our listeners questions:

1. How do you deal with secrets in a blended family when one household keeps things from the other? What about dealing with the stress of knowing information as the step parent that both bio parents are keeping from their children?

2. How do you as the new spouse get to be okay with your husband's ex being absolutely cruel to him when he won't even try your advice to stop it?

3. How do you handle it when your partner agrees to have scheduled time together with you and then allows their child to hijack that time to connect?

These are big topics that center all around the need to be understood. We hope you enjoy this episode! Comment below and let us know one thing you took away from our perspectives addressing these issues.

Blended Life EP. 167: Holiday Boundaries and Fairness in a Blended Family

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!
