How do we parent a child from a prior relationship?

This entry describes parenting a child from a prior relationship as the couple's question of who cares for that child day to day, who may correct the child, and what the other parent still decides. It treats the work as roles the two adults name, not as the definition of a second marriage or a blended family.

What this entry does not do

It does not define a blended family or a second marriage, and it does not say who the child's parent is.
