Blended family
意味: A family made up of a couple and their children from previous relationships, all living together.
A blended family forms when two people with kids from prior marriages or relationships come together. It's the modern term for what used to be called a 'stepfamily.' Blended families are extremely common in America — nearly 1 in 3 American households with children involves a blended family. The term is positive and inclusive.
