What's your experience of being in a step-family?

What's your experience of being in a step-family - what advice would you give to other families who are becoming blended?

ON THE PHONE-IN
Stepfamilies are now the fastest growing family type in the UK. It's estimated that one in three of all families are now blended families.  It's the subject of a BBC documentary which goes out tonight following Rio Ferdinand's family as his fiancée Kate Wright integrates into the family and becomes a step-mum to Rio’s three children, Lorenz, Tate and Tia.  This is the next stage in the family’s journey and follows on from the Bafta Award-winning and critically acclaimed 2017 documentary, Rio Ferdinand: Being Mum And Dad.
