Hello, Becky With the Good Hair

Working with your parents in a professional setting is complicated enough, but what if you had to constantly make up for their lack of preparation at work? At some point, I’d start looking for a new job. For this mother-son duo, I think one of them may not be coming back to work after this incident. Boundaries are a crucial part of growing up, and as you gain your independence, you’d hope your parents would respect those boundaries the most.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Blended families are never easy. There could be residual resentment, financial difficulties, and children having to cope with a step-parent. There’s no point along this process that’s easier than another, and it will always take time to fully integrate as a family.
