Making happier families!
The Problem: Parents and stepparents frequently argue about how each person parents, differences in their parenting styles and how each believes in disciplining children. Arguments may also include issues about parents showing favoritism towards biological children and not the non-biological children, jealousy, sibling rivalry and financial pressures related to the previous divorce. Concerns and suspicions may also be present about sexual issues between step-siblings and stepparents and stepchildren.
