39: Grandparenting and the Blended Family
For most of us, grandparents are fabulous! They are the adults who love us, but don’t have to discipline us, and because they don’t have to take us home, relish the chance to spoil us. Stepgrandparenting can be all that if everyone agrees that it can-and everyone wants it to happen. Listen in on this episode while Ron Deal talks with Gordon and Carrie Taylor about the unique aspects of grandparenting in blended families.
