Raisingkids: Features - Facts & Fictions About Stepfamilies

http://www.raisingkids.co.uk/fea/fea_27.asp

Extractions: Stepfamilies have a bad image. Think of Snow White's jealous stepmother or Cinderella's Ugly Sisters. Fairy tales end with the triumphant child banishing the wicked interlopers. In real life, this doesn't make for happy endings. Stepchildren have to come to terms with their new family. Some of the beliefs that people hold about blended families are set out below. Are they true or false? Myth: 'Marriage is easier 2nd time round' Both parents may have learned from their previous marriages but first marriages and second marriages are different. It's unlikely there'll be much carry-over from one to the other. The presence of children further complicates the issue for both partners. Myth: 'Stepfamilies can work in the same way as 1st-time families' Fact: You can't expect things to be the same A successful blended family will eventually create its own way of living together, but the way it works will be different and it will take time. Realistic expectations at the outset will help all family members to work together to achieve a level of family harmony

Extractions: Benign ignorance about the stresses, complexities and myths of StepFamilies is a prescription for marital disaster... too many re/marrying couples figure "love will conquer all" when they have absolutely no idea of the enormity of the task. Peter K. Gerlach, MSW veteran stepson, stepgrandson, stepfather, stepbrother and co-founder of SAI, Inc. has done an outstanding job of detailing the challenges StepFamilies face as well as providing the tools to re-educate us to the relationship realities of StepFamilies. Are YOU A StepFamily? My former StepDaughter once referred to me as her StepMom to her bio Mom... who promptly went off the deep end... ranting and raving that until SHE was dead I was NOT her daughter's StepMom. With gross misconceptions like this running rampant through our society, this is the "touchstone" site for you and yours.

You may be wondering why your experience as stepfamilies has been largely invisible and often misunderstood, both by you entering into stepfamilies, by those seeking to support you, as well as by society at large. Even if you do identify as a stepfamily, you probably will have experienced stigma of unhelpful negative stereotypes about what sort of influence you are likely to be - wicked stepmothers or cruel stepfathers in fairy tales, or unrealistically positive ones (Brady Bunch TV series).

Social Research This report describes a study of stepfamilies in which the perspectives on relationships and wellbeing in stepfamilies were obtained from children, parents, stepparents, non-resident parents and teachers. The main aim was to examine and understand the impact of the quality of relationships on factors representing resilience in these families. It is concluded that the affective quality of relationships in stepfamilies is an important correlate of positive family and child functioning. In particular, attention needs to be paid to the child-stepparent relationship in fostering resilience in stepfamilies. It was also found that the perspectives of children are central to assessing wellbeing at the family and individual level.

http://www.sihtc.com.au/stepfamilies.htm

Extractions: A stepfamily is defined as a household in which there are two adults in a committed couple relationship and where at least one of them has a child or children from a previous relationship. Recent estimates show that the stepfamily will be Australias most common family form in 2010. Thus if you live or have lived in a stepfamily, you have a lot of company! Like all families, stepfamilies have challenges as well as strengths. For stepfamilies to become strong, it's important that they are aware of some of common challenges they face and ways to effectively deal with them. It's also important for them to identify and build upon their strengths. That's what this article, and the other six that follow, is all about. A basis for building a strong stepfamily is an understanding of its realities as well as a debunking of its myths. First, we'll review major myths about stepfamilies that, if believed, can discourage stepfamily bonding. Second, we'll review some realities that provide a realistic contrast between stepfamilies and first-marriage families. Finally, we'll discuss how the realities of stepfamily living, although challenging, can be seen as strengths. Understanding the myths and realities helps us appreciate what is normal as a stepfamily develops, leading us to hold reasonable expectations for family life.

LOL Stepfamilies The Second Time Around
You need to realize that stepfamilies do not only involve the couple and their (This is not only true with stepfamilies but for first marriages as well.
http://www3.azwestern.edu/psy/dgershaw/lol/Stepfamilies.htm

Extractions: The Second Time Around * David A. Gershaw,Ph.D. Some of you may remember the song that states, "Love is better the second time around." The song tells about two people who fall in love with each other after previous marriages. However, this song does not mention anything about children from previous marriages. With children, is it still "better the second time around" When children are involved, you have stepfamilies. The children may be "his," "hers," or (later) "ours." The optimistic term for this arrangement is "blended families." However, this term seems to minimize the problems that are unique to stepfamily relationships. First, the couple typically just fall in love. They do not plan for the new relationships involved. They are trapped by the myth that the stepfamily will function just like a normal, biological family. In addition, children are even more likely to believe this stepfamily myth. They are likely to feel that their relationship with the stepparent will be like the one they had with the original parent. From both sides, these mythical beliefs create unrealistic expectations in the stepfamily situation. To add to this, most adults enter stepfamily life with another false assumption the family will quickly learn to get along together. In contrast to these myths, the stepfamily has many built-in problems. The wife's children see the new husband as a intruder. The husband's children may think that the new wife will take their father away from them. When a stepfather tries to discipline a stepchild, his wife may interpret this as a threat to a power which used to be hers alone. Also, children often resist being disciplined by the new stepparent.

About 50 percent of Americans will live in a stepfamily at some point in their lives, making money management in stepfamilies an important issue for many people. This guide will describe several reasons why stepfamily members often have very different views related to the use of money. It will also discuss some ways by which stepfamilies can manage their financial affairs successfully.
