Blended Life EP. 94: Co-Parenting Boundaries

On this episode we discuss living separately together; when two bio families live under the same roof doing their own thing with the goal to blend.  We give advice and perspective when it comes to joining two individuals together with their own kids in tow.  It can be difficult to meld plans, schedules, and activities when both parties are on different pages and used to doing their own stuff.  We talk about how things changed for us after we got married and why the first year of our marriage was the most challenging of all the years we’ve been together.  Finally we address how to deal with an ex/coparent who doesn’t respect personal boundaries.  How to enforce respect over your privacy.  Enjoy!New Life Pismo sermon talked about on this show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGF5EWhQo24 Connect with us!

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 blended family many lives depend on it). Together we can avoid costly mistakes that will end in the demise of our precious families. -Blended Life [email protected] Family Life and Health Coaching.

Om Podcasten

A blended family is such an important topic because it’s dealing with so many lives, not just that of you and your spouse. You have your kids and your spouses kids of course, but you also have the other sets of parents to contend with (if there is shared custody). With so many cooks in the kitchen, it can make sanity hard to come by on some days. We can lose our way in the midst of chaos, jealousy, insecurity, frustration, anger, confusion, miscommunication, and power struggles. This podcast is dedicated to lessons my husband and I have learned from previously being married, divorced, parenting, co-parenting, step-parenting, blending a family, re-marrying, surviving daddy issues (me not him lol), going through years of therapy (again, me not him ha), having a relationship with God, listening to and absorbing wisdom from others, and having some of the best friends anyone could hope for! It is our hope that this offers all who take the time to read what we have to say, a perspective that makes for consideration or just some good-old-fashioned food-for-thought. If we can save one person, or couple, from any of our many mistakes, it would mean more than any treasure ever could.
