Show Notes
In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori, co-founder of Nacho Kids, interviews blended couple, Jessica and Mark! They have been blending for 4-½ years. Mark has three daughters ages 20, 18, and 16, and together they have a two-year-old son. Jessica was an "ours" child in her blend and thought that experience would make their blend a little "easier". That wasn't the case.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Adding an "ours" kid to the blend
- Lowering expectations
- The grieving process of blending
- Co-parenting with the ex
- The stepparent telling the bio parent how to parent
