[quote=Anonymous]You don't need to do everything together to be a family. I was in a not blended family but had 4 siblings and other than family vacation and Wednesday night family dinner and church on Sundays, we rarely did everything together. Tweens and preschoolers have different interest and are at very different developmental levels. You likely wouldn't expect your 4 year old to engage in the activities the 10 and 12 year old are doing because it would be inappropriate for them or beyond them...the same is true the other way. Everyone needs things at their developmental level Everyone is also still individual people and you still have two family groups within the blended family. Think of it more as a mosaic and less as a melting pot. Back away or you risk making this worse.[/quote]
