STEP FAMILIES AND CHILDREN:WE ARE NOT BORN TO FOLLOW WE ARE BORN TO LEAD!

You are a Leader! As a Step Parent, Single Parent or Child in a family invornment that the lable makers say is not a neclear family, a "normal family".  Let's take the stigma out of all this. It is time that Biological Parents, Step Parents, Step Children and Biologal Children step up and show the world that we may have not been born into a "Cleaver Family" but we ARE just as perocious and commited to our Family Units and our Children and Step Children! It is time that we Unite and show the world that WE DO COUNT and we contribut to our Communities e are PROUD of our Families! We as Step and Extended as well as Single Parent Families have to fight twice as hard to servive! Unique situations, resources that are real and available, support is in demand and it is about time our communites stand up and listen!
If you have any ideas that can help, please respond to this post. We need to get information into the schools for Step Family Life Coaching and support for our Kids. I know myself, as well as you are sick and tired of our Children failing and us failing our Children. No one said an Extended Family and Blending a new Family would be easy but it could be and it should be if we all come together and support our efforts. I am NOT talking about "b---- " Blogs or Dating for Single Parents. I am talking about a real revolution in the Blending and Dynamics of  Families.
I have a wonderful set of plans, work books and sessions that will help you Family succeed!  Because the dynamics of Blending Families is a complicated process I have devised some wonderful resources that have a proven trac record.
It is TIME WE RESPECT OURSELVES, OUR CHILDREN AND MOVE IN A POSITIVE FORWARD MOTION!  IT IS TIME WE STOP THE BLAME GAME FOR THE DEMISE OF OUR FAMILY UNIT AND LEAD THEM INTO A NEW ERA OF CONFIDENCE AND STRONG STRUCTURE!  STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN>>>>YOUR FAMILY AND CHILDREN!

    It depends. If the child is really little when the step parent comes into their lives yeah but when they're older (especially around 10+) I don't think the step parent should be punishing them. If they have a problem the can talk to their spouse. They haven't been with the child since they were little and it's only going to build resentment. Not that I think the child should be allowed to act like a brat. If the step parent has an issue (again if it's an older child) they should tell the parent and the parent should deal with it. I have to say if either of my parents (they didn't) brought another person into any of us girls lives at about 10+ we certainly would not have been doing what that person said. We'd be like "okay you aren't my parent and you haven't been my parent so don't try to act like you are". And we were respectful children (not perfect but respectful) and we obeyed our parents. But we certainly wouldn't have just been like "okay now that your married to my parent you can tell me what to do".

    Like I said I believe it totally makes a difference as to what age they are. Heck as a ten year old I would have been creeped out if I had a new "mommy/daddy" and would have been nervous around them. The last thing I'd be thinking is "I should obey this person because my parent married them". I'd just have been freaked out that they were even in the house and I wouldn't have wanted them getting into my stuff or telling me what to do. I would have respected them more if they treat me like A child and not like THEIR child.

    If so, as being born to lead, why are there still so many in the poverty bracket and having to read about even some millionaires dropping into this level of wealth status...My leading is way different from all of your kind of thought process of "leadership" Remember Joe Biden's words before he was officially elected? "And that leaves millions of souls on a bridge to nowhere..." Guess what that is where millions of souls out of 7 billion existing souls still are...a bridge to nowhere!
