normiss 622 #8 September 10, 2010 "I don't like them" has been said before as well. Just day to day stuff, nothing out of the ordinary. I get the impression it was said as an opinion, not a reaction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the impression it was said as an opinion, not a reaction. 1. Said with a matter of fact tone, or 2. As in she had a bad day with the kids. If 1, then its time to go. If 2, then some support and talking with the kids about giving stepmom a break.Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Hausse 0 #11 September 10, 2010 Lol funny how everyone is jumping to conclusions. Is the child a murder/rapist/something else fucked up? There's plenty of reason to dislike people and just because they are family doesn't make it any better... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"I'll just ask him to choose between me and his kids and see where I stand." The next excellent tactic is when she picks a fight with your kids and alienates them effectively. Then, she can always state that they don't like her. So, she can easily avoid family gatherings while guilt-tripping you for abandoning her to attend them. Any events will be coincide with events with her kids. You get to choose. "Our family" or your "old family". ... or so I hear. Send her to the curb while the sprinklers are on.

jimmytavino 16 #15 September 10, 2010 So then... "the spouse" is the step parent ????IF so, all of that shouldda been 'worked out" Before !! the marriage.....Is the 'spouse' in this situation ....the male ?? or the female??... either way, it sounds like a breakdown in communication.... AND as pointed out.... MAYBE the Kids ARE Unlikable... or maybe the kids behavior towards the person has been Less than cordial... better work on Family Harmony... before.. "I can't stand them" turns into "i Hate !!! them.... second and 3rd marriages, when there are children in the home, can be VERY Tough,, on everyone,,, and If the kids are little, and THEY do not care for the "newbie" parent..... uh OH !!!!!! good luck to your friends or aquaintences.... jmy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarrieByTheSea 0 #20 September 10, 2010 Say goodbye and move on. It is my opinion a step-parent who does not like the child/children is worse than a divorce in which both parents love the children but no longer love each other. Kids learn to understand and cope more easily with the latter. The former will eventually affect how you feel about your children and vice versa, thereby ruining the relationship. At least she spoke up and gave you an opportunity to weigh what is more important instead of concealing her thoughts and instead manipulating the situation to her advantage. Personally, I like you are upset about it, but many parents in your situation would try harder to cater more toward their spouse and that is understandable, too.
