When you marry someone, you want them to be loved and respected by your family. But sometimes, that's not the case.

But that's a family member's problem, not yours. If a family member doesn't like your spouse, you should avoid that family member or tell them to change their attitude.

A blended family can be complicated. Don't alienate each other; for better or worse, you're a family now - love each other like one.

And if in-laws don't recognize step-kids as part of the family, then they probably shouldn't be seeing your amazing blended family.
