Jake and Martha recently got married. Martha has been married earlier and has a son, Toby, from her previous marriage. Jake and Toby are having problems adjusting to each other. How can we best describe Jake and Martha’s family?
dual-employed marriage
extended family
blended family
grandparent family
adoptive family
I believe it would be a blended family, as you are blending Martha's family (Her son Toby), and Jake, her new husband. Both represent different relationships, and Martha is blending them together, thus a blended family.
