Disneyland Parent: Dumping Ice Buckets On My Head

The Whole Stepfamily

What did your host, Brittany Lynch, BScN, RN, Certified Stepfamily Counsellor, discover about the importance of limit-setting and rule enforcement in a blended family, after having an ice bucket dumped over her head?

One of the greatest causes for concern in stepfamily is a household divided over manners, expectations, and responsibilities. Resentment, disrespect, and a sense of unpredictability are common in blended families that lack the necessary structures to function at a healthy level.

A term commonly used by stressed-out step parents, "Disneyland Dad," (or mom, though less often) usually refers to a single parent who, for a multitude of very valid reasons, will tend toward leniency with rules and indulgence with resources. This episode discusses several important factors that contribute to a divorced dad or single mom's avoidance of strict rules or adherence to any specific schedule or routine.

Find out in this episode what to do if your blended family is experiencing this very common stepfamily dynamic, and what you and your partner can do today to have even more peace and even more connection with the people you love most in the world.
