BLENDED FAMILIES ARE VERY COMMON BUT A SMART BLENDED FAMILY IS NOT
Nowadays, blended families are very common. Everyone in its neighborhood has at least one blended family. For some, that could be unfamiliar or weird, good or bad, horrible or amazing... However, people will always talk, whether they know or don't know the truth and someone's life situation. All in all, living in a blended family has two sides: you can either be accepted in society or not.
Seeing a happy family walking down the street makes us feel the love. But what about blended families whose members are strangers to each other¬? That can’t be the same. Imagine that one of your parents brought a husband or wife with their children to your house. How would you feel? Won't you be jealous because you have got a brother or a sister from another family who lives with you and have love of your biological parent? Did you deserve that? Of course you didn't. You start to avoid your parent, fight with your „sibling“, with your new parent and with your biological parent. You start to judge it because of what he/she did. That results in children having bad marks at school, doing bad things, starting hating, abusing and becoming monsters. And there is no help anymore...
On the other hand, being a part of a blended family can be interesting and amazing. I have a friend whose mother has married to another man who lives in Italy. He lives there now and he is happy. He has a brother and a sister there. They go to school together and help them study Italian language. His Italian father is great. He accepted him as his own son. I appreciate that very much. Parents have the main role in this story. Parents in this situation need to be very patient and to think about everything. They need to explain everything to their children. That's the only way for blended families to succeed and overcome troubles.
In conclusion, you need to be a good man to succeed in your life and to raise your family. It doesn't meter how many children you have, which is your skin color. The most important thing is to love and you will be loved, to respect and you will be respected.
