So, this is my first time blogging. My intuition has been nugging me to do this for a while. And because I'm a perfectionist (probably because of adhd/autistic characteristics, which is another blog on its own), I wanted to create a website that looks perfect and can reach many people as possible. But I couldn't find the right template I wanted.

After months of pondering and searching, I eventually gave up.

Recently, however, I went through an emotional spiral and today inspiration kicked in. And I thought "what the heck, start here and see where it goes."

So, now I'm here, to speak to all the moms out there that are struggling. Not just step moms, but any mom, or dad, or guardian for that matter,to share my life's experiences as a once single mom with 2 kids, who went into a relationship with someone with 3 kids, and who has been trying to find my way on this planet, and the reasons behind our existence, thoughts and emotions.

Some things might not make sense and others you will be able to relate to. It's just my perceptions, it's not law or theory.

Feel free to talk to me,anytime,about anything.

Yours, Mine, and Ours Challenge

Your challenge it to write a story about an X-Files blended family. Each parent has brought offspring only theirs to the marriage, and they also have at least one child together.

Being as this is an X-Files fic, the path to each having had a child separately could be less straightforward than in real life. Were they previously married to other people? Did someone borrow some of their genetic material and produce a surprise for one or both of them separately? Did one parent adopt before the wedding? Is the "ours" child the youngest, and s/he is not, how did that happen?

And does your story begin before or after the couple got married?

Note: while the minimum number of children who should be characters in this story is 3, there is no maximum number. After all, the real life couple who inspired Yours, Mine, and Ours had eighteen children between them when they got married (he'd had 10 with his late wife, and she'd had 8 with her late husband) and then had two more together.

Please submit your story or the link to it to [email protected] or post here on our submissions Tumblr - or send me a message with your fic on Tumblr to reblog.

The Future Unfolds: Navigating Blended Family Dynamics in the Mrs. Franchy Series

Mrs. Franchy's Evil Ring will be a series! Embark on a captivating journey with Isla Delgado in Mrs. Franchy's Evil Ring series. Explore the complexities of blended families and the power of love multiplied.

As the creator of Mrs. Franchy’s Evil Ring, I’ve journeyed alongside Isla Delgado for three years. She is a character who’s as real to me as the ink that spells her name. Much like the children of today’s increasingly common blended families, Isla navigates a world where love isn’t divided but multiplied. And it’s this very theme that I plan to delve deeper into in future installments, thus…

I read a study years ago stating that the average life paths (my rephrasing, they looked at specific outcomes) of children with single mothers don't differ from those of children with stepfathers. The researchers misinterpreted the data to mean that stepfathers aren't an influence in any real way. What the data actually means is that good stepfathers bring as much good as bad stepfathers bring bad. For every person who commits suicide because of a stepfather's abuse (and we, as people living in the real world, know that happens), a person doesn't feel the urge to commit suicide or overcomes the thoughts because of the love and support of a stepfather, whether that's consciously or unconsciously the saving influence. If you're a stepfather, do not underestimate the importance of that role. And if you're thinking about marrying a woman with children, don't take the role on lightly. And if you're a single mother, consider carefully who you bring into your home with your children. Probably the same thing if it's a single father situation, but the study didn't address that.

The 5 love languages

How to communicate with your Step-Kids using the 5 love languages.

The 5 love languages are words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, and physical touch. To communicate with your Step-Kids using the 5 love languages, you should first try to understand which love language they respond to the most. This may take some observation and interaction on your part. Once you have a good understanding of their primary love language, you can try to communicate with them using that love language to show them that you care about them and want to build a strong relationship with them.

For example, if your Step-Kid’s primary love language is words of affirmation, you could try to regularly tell them how much you appreciate them and what you admire about them. If their primary love language is acts of service, you could try to help them with tasks and projects that are important to them. If their primary love language is receiving gifts, you could try to give them thoughtful presents that show that you have been thinking about them. If their primary love language is quality time, you could try to spend one-on-one time with them doing activities that they enjoy. And if their primary love language is physical touch, you could try to show them affection through hugs, high-fives, and other gestures of physical warmth.

Remember, it's important to be patient and understanding when communicating with your Step-Kid. They may be hesitant or resistant to your attempts to connect with them at first, but with time and persistence, you can build a strong and loving relationship with them. Here are a few examples to help get you started.

Quality time: Spend one-on-one time with your Step-Kids doing activities they enjoy, such as playing a game, going for a walk, or having a heart-to-heart conversation. This will show them that you value and appreciate their presence and want to build a strong relationship with them.

Physical touch: Give your Step-Kids affectionate touches, such as hugs, high fives, or pats on the back. This will help them feel loved and connected to you, especially if they are not used to receiving physical affection from their biological parents.

Words of affirmation: Tell your Step-Kids how much you appreciate and admire them. Compliment them on their achievements, their character, and their kindness. This will boost their self-esteem and make them feel valued and respected.

Acts of service: Help your Step-Kids with their chores, homework, and other tasks. This will show them that you are willing to support and assist them in their daily lives, and that you care about their well-being and happiness.

Gifts: Give your Step-Kids small gifts that are meaningful and personal, such as a book they have been wanting to read or a trinket that reminds them of a shared experience. This will show them that you are thoughtful and attentive to their interests and needs, and that you want to make them happy.

Imagine this. You're Spock. You've tried not to get yourself emotionally involved with your crewmates. It's not going very well. Your doctor goes and contracts a terminal illness and doesn't tell you (but luckily your captain can't go three seconds without breaking Space HIPAA or whatever exists in the future) and then tries to run away and die on an asteroid. You take out the Instrument of Obedience, privately thinking that it would be nice to have some control over this maniac you somehow care about's actions. You spend Surak knows how much time downloading and translating an entire civilization's medical library to cure him. No problem. It was just an incurable disease. You didn't need to sleep this month.

Two episodes later, another alien civilization tries to check said doctor out like he's a library book and then writes "withdrawn" on his forehead and pretends they don't have to give him back. He tells you to leave to save yourself; he'll stay. Did you mention you decoded an entire medical archive like two weeks ago for---fine. You go through unspeakable emotional violations to put him back into circulation on the Enterprise. It's cool. You didn't need your dignity anyway.

Two episodes after that, your illogical, self-sacrificial doctor mutinies and sedates you--the ranking officer in charge--undoing the fact that, again, how many hours did you spend? Curing an incurable illness because you couldn't let him die? Singing like an idiot in front of a bunch of snickering Platonians with laurel leaves on your head and no pants to speak of?--so he can get himself tortured to death on your behalf. You convince an empath to save him. He pushes her away because he "can't destroy life." Your captain is crying. The shiny force field shows everyone that you're having very non-shiny emotions. Do Vulcans even believe in hell

You think you've finally reached some sort of sacrificial detente. It's been a while. Neither of you have died on the other's behalf. You've both had to save your captain a few times, but that's normal. All in a day's work. Then said captain wants all three of you to check out a mysteriously abandoned library of time periods. You should have figured you would wind up in some sort of frozen wasteland with your doctor and no perceivable way to return what you'd borrowed. Well. At least there's the two of you so that you can keep an eye on--

He falls down in the snow. His hands are blue. "Go on without me," he says, dramatically. "Alone, you have a chance."

yeah I'd strangle that fucker against a cave wall too

I feel like being the step child of an Asian parent is a unique experience

I want to connect with them and learn about their culture but do I have that right? They raised me but I’m white. I wouldn’t be a good representation of that culture. Is it my culture too?

And I don’t know anyone else in the same position. I have friends who are poc and Asian but none of them have step parents that I know of. I don’t want to tokenize my parent’s culture and learn about it just because it’s Not American culture.

I do think it’s cool, but not in an “exotic” way. But is it too late? Have I hurt them too much by not taking interest sooner? Should I try anyway? Is It My Culture Too?

I celebrate some of the holidays, and I use some words from my parents’ language to refer to my grandparents, but is that where I should stop? Am I putting too much focus on myself because I’m white?

It doesn’t even feel adequate to refer to it as Asian culture. It’s much more specific than that. All Asian countries are completely different with complex languages and awesome mythology.

Idk, anyone in the same boat?
