ABSTRACT
Changes in blended families necessitate adaptations to several aspects of the family. As a result, the process of building a family in a blended family differs from that of a family formed through a first marriage. This research stems from a desire to comprehend the embodiment of the family in a blended family through family communal activities such as family rituals and routines. This study examines the adaptations that occur in blended families and the negotiations that blended family members engage in addressing various activities and interactions. This study employed a qualitative method using the concept of family practice by David Morgan. Nine informants were involved in this study. This study revealed three types of adaption processes in blended families: holistically, naturally, and forcibly. Negotiations around communal activities in blended families take place both explicitly and implicitly. In a blended family, the process of an embodiment of the family can be seen through adaptation and negotiation processes. These two factors distinguish a blended family from a family formed through a first marriage. In certain ways, blended families in Indonesia continue to be influenced by cultural factors, such as mediation when there is a problem or feeling reluctant with new family members. According to the findings of this study, cultural traits are able to unite two families.
