About the Guest

Talking about prior family pictures in a stepfamily brings out people's passions. Biological parents want to preserve pictures for future generations. Kids need pictures and videos of family members who live in other homes. Stepparents want to know if there are appropriate boundaries for where photos are displayed. Think public and private. Kids should be free to display important pictures in their private space like their bedroom and mobile devices but not over the mantle in the living room.
