NKP385: Keep Your Hands Off My Stuff! 

 October 19, 2026

By  Lori Sims

In this episode of the Nacho Kids Podcast, Lori and David Sims tackle a common blended family challenge: what to do when stepkids use, eat, or take things that aren't meant for them, like special mouthwash and diet food. Drawing from a real post in their Facebook group, they explore the feelings of frustration that arise when personal boundaries are crossed and how these issues often symbolize deeper blend-related stress, not just the missing items.

In This Episode: Key Topics

  • Boundaries with Personal Items
  • Common Reactions & Advice
  • Practical Solutions
  • Focus on the Real Issue
  • Communication and Empathy
  • Recognize the Feelings - But Solve the Problem
  • Leaving Isn’t a Cure-All
  • Nacho Approach

This episode provides valuable insights and practical advice for stepparents, parents, and anyone navigating the unique dynamics of blended families.
