Grandparenting is sweet. Step Grandparenting? That can get complicated fast. On FamilyLife Today, Dave and Ann Wilson talk with Ron Deal about blended-family holidays, divided loyalties, awkward beginnings, and the long game of building trust with step-grandkids. From Captain America costumes to painful Christmas memories, this conversation hits the real tensions families carry—and how undeserved kindness, a dollop of patience, and a generous helping of joy can slowly change the story.
