A practical guide for all those living, or preparing to live, in a step-family. Drawing on real-life examples, the authors - both step-parents themselves - help parents to explore key issues and to find the way forward that is best for them. Questions addressed include:- Will I make a good step-parent?- What if we disagree over parenting styles?- My past experiences of family life aren't good. Can I really make it work this time round?- What about money issues? And where are we going to live?- How will the other children feel if we have a new baby?
