New Forms of Family Units and Lifestyles Blended family is one kind of new forms of family units. The number of this kind of family unit increase because of the much higher divorce rate. Women are more likely to win the right to raise children, so the blended family are usually make up of a man, a woman, and kids of that woman from the previous marriage. This formation makes the stepfather have to treat his new stepson or stepdaughter more carefully than his biological children, or the kids may disobey him. What’s worse, that may lead to the second time divorce. All the member of the blended family have to adapt their new family lifestyle, and try to find the most comfortable way to each other.
