Family Life
keep their children out of the
middle and appreciate what the
other parent has to offer. Yes, it
does happen.
For such families, its not a stretch
to create moments in the holiday
season where everyone can be
in the same place at the same
time. Mom, her new partner, his
kids, her kids, her kids father and
new partner and her kids, can get
together to do something lowstress like attending an event
together or volunteering to help
at a charity. Such activities bring
people together but dont require
one group to host the other.
Merry Christmas!
