As the biological parent of the blended family home it is common to feel uncomfortable with the non-biological parent making disciplinary choices over your children. While the stepparent should reframe from enforcing rules early on into the relationship, it doesn't mean the their opinions and suggestions on discipline should go unheard. Make a joint effort to establish household guidlines based on family values, rules, and limits that all children are required to follow, whether visiting for the weekend or not - and no one parent shall shine as the bad person. :)
A well informed family makes a HAPPIER and STRONGER family!
