FINAL essay # 2

In most movies, the relationship between a stepparent and stepchild are not good. They're usually awkward around eachother, one of them does not get a long with the other, or they just dont agree with eachother.You rarley see a movie where the stepparent and kid are close. They probably over react in movies .I dont think that every relationship is like cinderella and her stepmother. Because her stepmom was just mean and i dont think everyone can be that mean.

I dont have any personnel expierience really with this. I have both of my parents and there still married so i dont have any step brothers or sisters. But my mom has a stepdad. But technically he was like her real dad. Her real dad was a really bad guy, and her mom, my grandma, remarried. She grew up with him there her whole life. They got a long. He was always there for her. It wasnt like any of those movies where the father and daughter dont get along.

Different people have different situations. In every family there are obstacles and barriers you need to overcome. But when you have people that are from two different families, theres even more that you need to work on. In some situation, it's two whole new families coming together, with new parents and also new kids. In those situations you need to learn to become more flexible and be able to work with the other people. I think that you need to be more patient and more understanding to. Both families need to be on the same page and know whats going on.

Although there are disadvantages with new situations like this, there could also be advantages. You get to meet new people. You can get double the money and presents as before, because you have twice as many parents. Yoy have more people that could love you. You can get closer to your real parents because you get to spend more time with them. I think that there could be as many if not more advantages as disadvantages in this kind of a situatuion.

Although i dont have any expirience with this , i think i have an ok understanding of it. Im thankful that i dont have to go through any of it with my family. I think it's important for married people to work through hard situations so there kids dont have to go through having stepparents. In some cases things like that just happen though. There are lots of obstacles to work at but in the end, they can be overcome.
