Mine Yours and Ours. Remember the old movie? It was a comedy.
In real life, mine yours and ours is a very serious matter. Almost half of the marriages today involve kids. His kids, her kids or both.
When a new family is created by marriage the biological and the step parents have many unanswered questions, many unattended to concerns, many fears and the knowledge and preparedness to do all within their powers to ensure a happy blended family where the kids know they belong and are loved and wanted.
How do we ensure that our family will indeed become blended? You may start with the preparation for, and duties at the wedding. Involve all the kids and get them as excited as you and your future spouse are.
Read A Family Wedding - A What?
By Nily Glaser
A Wedding Day
At the wedding ceremony exchange family wedding vows. Rather than vows only between bride and groom, family Wedding vows include all family members. That is, the bride, the groom and the children.
Right after the vows exchange and after you exchange gifts, welcome each child to the family with a special gift of jewelry. This may follow by a FAMILY unity candle ceremony.
After the wedding, the most important thing is to put your marital relationship first as your priority and to stand together regarding rules of the household with all of your kids. In each of the following situations this may be easier said than done.
- All the kids live with you,
- Your kids live with you while your spouse's kids only visit,
- Your spouse's kids live with you while your kids only visit,
or
- you have split custody with the other biological parents,
- The other biological parent(s) is/are single
- The other biological parent(s) is/are married.
In the latter, most severe situation, your kids would have
up to 6 adults with different ideas regarding child rearing and
discipline, telling them what to do.
Potentially, you'll have to deal with:
Their transitions to/from different households with different house rules?
If there was a divorce, the possibility that the "other parent" incites the kids against you and/or your spouse.
If there was death, kids' anger at the parent who "left them" and anger at "that Person" who "tries to take the place of / replace" the diseased parent.
Being unable or unwilling to compete with the "other parent" for affection, by lavishing the kids with gifts and "whatever they want" and "whatever they do is ok".
