Today we have discussed the topic of stepfamily in class. This is more and more widespread in France, what do you think of the impact that a stepfamily can have on children?
With all of the bad swirling around, it’s no wonder people are hesitant about entering a remarriage and blended family situation. Past surveys have found that many kids are able to see positives in one or both of their parents remarrying with some examples being:
Additional grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins; More gifts for birthdays and holidays New siblings to play with; Enjoy seeing their parents happy again; Vacations and other extras due to a higher combined household income; It’s nice to be a part of a two-parent family;
Changes in the home with a remarriage and the addition of a stepparent and stepsiblings can be seen as both positive and negative from a child’s perspective. They may have mixed feelings about the way their home and parent is changing to accommodate additional family members. Even when these changes are seen as positive, they are still something that needs to be worked through and it may seem to them as if suddenly everything is different. Rules are changed, they might finding themselves sharing a bedroom, routines and traditions can be altered and it can leave kids initially feeling like they are a stranger in a house they’ve lived in for years.
Hello, On the one hand, I think that growing up in a stepfamily must be quite hard at the beginning : children are, of course, very sad when their parents divorce, and they tend, not to get along with their stepfather or their stepmother (not to mention the stepbrothers or the stepsisters !). But on the other hand, after a few years, when children are older and more mature, they learn to live in a blended family, and it can help them in their lives to coexist with different people. So I think that living with a stepfamily can have both positive and negative impacts on children, even though it must be really hard at first. Octave MOULARD 1L1
My parents are separated since I was 5 years old, I wasn't sad, but I wasn't happy neither. It isn't hard to live in a stepfamily, you have two homes, two christmas, and almost everything twice. The only issue is to move from one house to the other. I do that every holidays. That's not really an issue, that's just a little bit annoying.
Hi, Well the case of a stepfamily is always hard for children specially when they were used to see their parents together and one day everything changed. To my mind it would be really hard for me to see this even though I am mature. I hope this will never happen to me but of course to all those children who see for example their parents every other week I think and I am sure it’s hard because there’s 2 two houses, so the child leads two lifes.
Hi my friend, I think you posted an excellent subject because Stepfamilies are present everyday in our life. We've got all a friend who has a step father or a stepmother. I think that for the childrens, it's not everyday easy for them. They are sometimes sad and they have often two houses so they move a lot. They go to their father's house a week-end and the next week-end, they go to their mother's house.
hello I think the impact is still important, it depends on a lot of things first, if the children get along well with the adult of the second family if the other family has children, then relationships with other children then all together, sometimes the blended family dissolves and another is created, and so on. If it is already the 3rd time that one of your parents is with another person, it is certain that the acceptance of people other than your family will be even more complicated to live under the same roof as you but in general it is good or bad but you can't do anything about it. It really depends on the people that make up the two families and also the age of the children plus it is young (2 to 6 years) it will be simple but if the child is older (7 to 14 years) will be more difficult but from 15 years old it does not matter too much any of your parents is happy you are happy too
Sorry I made some mistakes, I should have said : -when they were used to seeing their parents together -then finally things change -everyday -there are two houses so the child leads two lives.
Hello, I'm not living in a stepfamily, because my parents are married, and when I was born, they were already in relationship; they got married the same day as my baptism, when I was five years old. Furthermore, before that my parents met, my father was married to another wife, and he has had 2 boys with her. Then, he left her and met my mother. His children were young, and whereas he divorced his old wife, he had been continuing to take care of them with my mum. Afterward, his children grew up, and my parents traveled; so, my father wasn't as present as before for his children. Then, it was a new life that began for them, even if my father already have had two boys. More years passed, the less my father was close to his 2 sons, but he always did everything for them. When I was young, I spent a lot of time with my two old brothers. It's not because my dad is remarried to my mum, that my half brothers have had a bad life, they always had a good life, because they have never lacked anything. So, now, they are happy and they have children. Finally, I don't think so, that the stepfamilies can have a negative impact on children. In my opinion, it depends on the how parents educate their children, and wether they miss things or not. Even if the parents divorced, we can do nothing, because they don't like it anymore, and if the parents educate their children well, it won't be a big impact on their children.
I made some mistakes: - another woman - he has 2 (older) boys - even though he had divorced his wife he continued supporting his children - as years passed
hello, today This is more and more widespread in France, the subject of the stepfamily is very interessant since it concerns 1.5 million minor children. but you must be optimistic, when you have a stepfamily, you have more gifts, no it's a joke, it's a real subject and we tend to put it aside. example there are children who are pessimistic and dislike their step mother or their step father, while for other, children love's their step parent, This depends on the attitude of the respective parents,they should not speak in front of the children, for not destabilise the children. it's simple, so the parents make some efforts and the children are not destabilise. So, first, for me, the step-family is a good thing because we learn to live in communities, it's also the values...... finally, I know what it's to live in the in the step family and it's cool, not at first, but after it's great.
Hello, today I am going to speak to you of my dream jobs. For me a dream job is a job we love, when you wake up in the morning, we say «yes» I'm going to work. I also think that a dream job is a job that is well paid and that there is a good atmosphere. I don’t know yet what is my dream job, but I would like it to be as I imagine. Thanks see you soon.

and "every holiday" without "s"
