If you've had this experience, what did you find to be most difficult? Personally, I think it's a conflict of parenting styles. That brought an enormous amount if conflict in my last relationship. |

I'd have to say the hardest part is accepting the fact that the mother/father is seemingly being "replaced" with a newcomer

akanundrum1. I totally feel your post. That can be a problem within your own household much less with a merged family.

I definitely agree with conflict being the different parenting styles. What worked well for me was observing and having a conversation about what I thought I'd like to continue doing, incorporating, and removing for our blended family at the time. The parenting styles were merged and the best practice were kept that effectively worked for us. It ended up balancing out very well when adhered to because they now had similar structure of expectations from both versus, my mom does this and my dad doesn't type conflict.

Also, if there is an immature parent outside of the relationship, that can definitely make it hard! Especially when they are completely against anything the child is advised by the new parent in the home.
