#8– SINGLE PARENTING AND STEP FAMILIES

 Balance your relationship – If you find someone, don’t spend all your
time with them, neglecting your kids
Becoming a couple is up to you. Becoming a family is up to them.
 Give teens a chance to meet your dating partner at their own pace;
don’t force it.
 Kids may run hot and cold on your new dating partner. They may feel
disloyal to their other parent if they like the person.
 If you don’t think your dating partner will make a good parent, move
on.
