What’s Your Role?
Whether you're married and raising your kids together, or you have a co-parent who lives in the other home, or maybe there's a stepparent who lives with you; I'm wondering, are you a defender--speaking up for one side or the other or an interpreter who tries to translate and bridge the gap between the other two. You can play either one of these roles some of the time but don't get stuck in them all of the time. And, as much as you can, stand with your spouse. Be united.

Ron: Whether you’re married and raising your kids together, or you have a co-parent who lives in the other home, or maybe there’s a stepparent who lives with you; I’m wondering, are you a defender—speaking up for one side or the other or an interpreter who tries to translate and bridge the gap between the other two? You can play either one of these roles some of the time but don’t get stuck in them all of the time.
And, as much as you can, stand with your spouse. Be united. When there is a stepparent involved don’t get between them and the kids. Encourage them to work out their own relationship. They’ll get stronger and you won’t get caught in the middle. For FamilyLife Blended, I’m Ron Deal.
