Growing up we were told, "first comes love, then comes marriage, then there's a baby in the baby carriage", right? Well sometimes, we find ourselves in a situation where there may be a few other factors, rather people involved and our family doesn't quite look like we dreamed about. Joining a “ready made” family or letting a man join yours calls for a lot understanding and consideration. You have to constantly make the right decision to move forward with your relationships and create an environment for your new blended family to thrive.

In this episode, Meridith and Alyss share how they began in a blended family (although they both were initially not too keen on the idea), what you may want to consider before getting into someone's life that has a child or dating with your own kid(s) and how you may create the best scenario for you.
