Are you from or in a blended family?

[@LoveBirdsCentral]

No on both, but I still appreciate these topics being raised. We were not blessed with human babies, so we spoil our lovebirds. 😍

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

My family is blended ❤

[@Caribbeannking1011]

I think it’s good for blended families to get counseling. I’m glad you mentioned.

[@luluinterrupted9213]

My husband is black and I am white. We have had some tough times with people. Mainly behind our backs but at the end of the day we love each other so much and have a beautiful little girl together. ❤ you two radiate with love as well. God bless.

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

Thank u so much!! And thanks for watching!! Stay blessed!!❤️

My mom was Italian and my dad was black. I'm always mistaken for a different race, mostly puerto Rican, im the youngest of 7 children and the only one with a different father, my siblings father was black as well. I never even thought about my siblings being half, it just never felt that way to me💙🧡💙❤🤎💚💛🧡

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

Thanks for sharing your story. ❤️ Right!! They are just your siblings and that’s that! Thank u for watching 🙏🏽

[@samwithoutlimits7766]

I have 3 kids and they have never called each other half or step. They are all three grown up now and I am so glad we didn't make that mistake. They see each other as sis and bro and me and my husband as their dad and mom although my son calls my husband by his first name when he does refer to him. That is all. Also, on the subject of discipline and working as a complete family unit,, we did have an issue with my son trying to make me side against my husband in a disagreement they were having but that didn't happen until he was in his early twenties. It was very hard for me to do but I continued in the behavior that I had all through the family relationship which is that me and my husband - who is not his blood father but is the dad he grew up under - are a unit within the family structure and we head the family. So while I do believe that the discussion before or as early in the relationship as possible should be had, I think my situation was blessed in that for the most important parts my husband and I were on the same page where it came to our children. But it wont be that way in all blended families so the discussion is a valid action and something I would do if I had the opportunity to do this over.

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

You made some excellent points. We really appreciate you sharing your story and some insight on how you dealt with this yourself. Excellent job! Thank u for watching!!🥰🙏🏽❤️

[@ThePrincessCH]

When you mention not using terms like "step" or "half" reminds me of something I heard about the Chinese language. There aren't any actual terms for stepparents, so a stepmother is addressed using the term for an aunt on your mother's side while a stepfather is addressed using the term for an uncle on your father's side.

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

Interesting

[@valeriefullilove1031]

Family Counselling is key. As long as the parents are unified stand together and make sure both parents are respected as a parent. Communication is key, but so are boundaries.

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

Agreed!! Great points!!!🙏🏽❤️

[@mariapizarrosath8147]

I’m sorry but I don’t find anything wrong by calling anyone step or half’s , because that’s exactly what it is, it doesn’t have to create separation. As long as there’s love and respect. I’m in a blended family and my step kids are steps and so vise versa. Im step mom, he’s step dad, im not taking nobody’s tittle and neither is my husband. We doing just fine

[@cvzdez]

Should you include the kids on the new rules? I believ in families meeting Spending individual time with each child is key

[@wynetteabc]

I would like for y'all to talk about specific challenges that were overcame with your blended family.💖

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

Thanks for the topic idea❤️

[@FaithandNova]

I wasn't raised in a blended family, I married and we both had children. When we was together us as a unit had no problems we got along well it was family that played a huge role in what destroyed the marriage.

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

Sorry to hear that.

[@theresamcdaniel955]

Just subscribed.... I am mixed as well... Many generations but I’m mainly Samoan/Japanese . Mainly Samoan! I think if I was to visit Japan It would be an issue since I don’t look Japanese lol I am very proud to be blended - chop suey mix lol 🤙🏾

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

Dope mix!! Have your ever been to Japan? Where do you live? Thank you for subscribing 🙏🏽🥰❤️

[@ashleyt6785]

Please do a part 2! Any stories that stand out from becoming a blended family? How is it co parenting with the kids other parents? What about the grandparents and family on the opposite sides getting attached to the new babies that entered the family? Was there fear that they may get attached and the relationship not work out? It sounds like your oldest kids were very young still when you two got together, was it easy to build those bonds as a family since they were younger?

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

Thank you Ashley for another topic. I believe I also messaged you on Instagram as well. Thanks!!🙏🏽❤️

[@daughteroftheking3974]

This is good information

[@freebee7262]

Ion even listen to Pandora is crazy😂

[@lydiam.godfrey8530]

After hearing your conversation on intimate conversations. The reason for lack of communication is lack of knowledge. Please listen to Jimmy Evans on youtube He has valuable information to help this. I like you guys and want your marriage to be its best.

[@theresamcdaniel955]

I am new to my relationship with a white man and he has a son in law who he thinks may not like us dating even though he has told his daughter. He has a sister who he thinks might not like us dating, so how do you think we should go about things. My handsome man says he isn't worried about it but I told him I am not here to break up family but to love.

[@SheSaidHeSaid]

In my opinion I would do what I feel is right. No one is going to tell me who to love. If they have a problem with it then that’s their problem. If he’s not concerned with it then that’s great. I’ve experienced the same thing with family members not approving. That’s their problem not mine. I still love them but I won’t stand for ignorance.

[@ladyvap5]
