EPISODE 37 - Suburban Blending

Both married before, AnnaLee and John met two years. They fell in love, decided to sell their homes and merge their families into one. AnnaLee and her 6 year old daughter, Rebecca, and John and his 14 year old son Marshall now share a comfortable four bedroom home, with John’s daughter Mackenzie visiting every other weekend. Everyone was thrilled to be starting a new life together and expected fine sailing all the way. But instead of turning into the loving family unit they envisioned, this blended group is breaking down along parenting lines, with AnnaLee and Rebecca on one side and John, Marshall and Mackenzie on the other. AnnaLee, an organized and methodical woman, finds it difficult to adapt to Marshall’s teenage ways, while John thinks she’s too demanding and tyrannical. It doesn’t help that the main floor is badly laid out and the kitchen is cramped and impractical, making family time together, tense and frustrating daily experiences.
