"I have a 14yo daughter with my partner and he has already said that there is no way he would allow our daughter to carry on the way these two have been… but how can he apply two different rules?"
Sounds a little strange? I know. And it seems their daughter agrees.
"My daughter is already calling him on it," the mum writes.
"This creates friction between us as he likes to please his son and doesn't say no to him. My partner also drives around left, right and centre to accommodate his son's social life, dropping off and picking up his son and girlfriend (this is a 1 hour round trip) leaving me at home looking after 5 other children."
She says as a family, they sometimes miss out on things as her partner's son is demanding so much of his attention.
"We also miss out on things because of this driving around - simple moments like afternoon walks together. I had to drive away from a family gathering yesterday when he said “I know this will upset you, but the girlfriend is coming today."
Understandably, this situation is causing problems.
"I am now at a point of resenting the son and his girlfriend. Am I overreacting and just need to accept the ups and downs of a blended family?"
What would YOU do? How would you feel about teenage sleepovers?
