Announcer: For FamilyLife Blended®, here’s Ron Deal.
Ron: As our parents become more childlike due to failing health, they need us to become the caregiver. However, it seems aging stepparents don’t get the same consideration. Numerous studies report that far fewer adult stepchildren think it their obligation to care for a stepparent like they would a biological parent. So aging couples can’t assume adult children will be there for the stepparent—and parents and kids need to talk through their expectations of one another.
Now, adult children here is a thought. You may not think of your stepparent as family but one way to honor your biological parent is to care for their spouse. For FamilyLife Blended I’m Ron Deal.
