FamilyLife Blended® con Ron L. Deal

All right people. It’s time to put on your thick skin.

Tammy worked really hard to make everyone in her stepfamily feel like they belonged. But after two years, she still complained that when their six adult children came over for dinner she would “lose her husband” to his kids. Look, it’s common for parents to feel pulled between their kids and their spouse—and someone usually feels left out. But it helps if you put on your thick skin and not be so sensitive. Making every moment a test of loyalty likely means you feel like your family is failing.
