111: Blended Couple Didn't Think Blending Would Be This Hard

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
