Parents make critics look stupid when it comes to public criticism of teachers. Children go home with various versions of a story and parents react differently to each. They meet up in malls, at hair salons, on sports fields … and verbally start stoning teachers to death; and all this because they get to know teachers through the mouths of their children.
Give or take, no parent will be able to stand in the shoes of a teacher and prove to be different. They don’t spend at least six to eight hours in a room with thirty to forty different types of personalities (never mind the age), for several months on end.

While freshly remarried couples like to dream about how great their marriage and new family will be, they are frequently unrealistic in their expectations. Not to pop your bubble or anything, but the more realistic you are, the better your chances for success. That’s where I come in!
One of the reasons that step families don’t immediately function smoothly is because they are not one functioning unit. Instead, there are 3 units working independently. It’s not until those units begin to work together than life starts flowing smoothly.
Unit #1 - The Marriage
