It is understandable that most of us are not interested
about meeting regularly as a blended family since most of us are not doing
meetings in our past families. It is still recommended to all blended family to
advocate family meetings on regular basis according to the step family experts.
You need to know why regular meetings are necessary to the blended family
members.
The importance of having meetings in the blended families is
to help the members to established common history, rituals and memories since
this is not yet present to the blended family normally. This also helps to the
differences and understanding of the members. The stressful combination of the
loss, divorce, remarriage, change and many other factors help the step family
parents to merge the families into one. Meetings in a blended family also help
to improve the communications of the members.
Blended family meetings also help to find how the kids are
doing with the other family members. This is also the best activity where you
can get feedbacks as their parents on how well you are doing your role. This also
serves as a bonding time for the blended family. Blended family meeting
improves the leadership and authority of the parents and a place to show care
and respect to one another.
