Show Notes
In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori, co-founder of Nacho Kids Nacho Parenting, chats with Claudette Chenevert - The Stepmom Coach! Claudette and Lori both have bio kids and adult stepkids. Stepparents often think things will magically get better when the stepkid turns 18. This may be the case if the stepparent's partner, the bio parent, is paying child support. Other than that, at 18, there is no magic wand, the stepkids don't disappear into adult land, and if the bio parent has guilty parent syndrome, that won't change either.
In this episode, we discuss:
-
When they turn 18
-
When they come back - boomerang stepkids/bio kids
-
Bio parents are still parents after the kids turn 18
-
Charging rent to the kids that come back
-
Setting boundaries
