I don't usually interfere with the arrangements made between DH, his ex, and DSS.
DSS stays with us on a regular basis for a few days at a time. He chose the arrangements himself, they've been in place a few years, and everyone has been happy with them.
DSS is 16. I accept, he's growing up, and things change. We have just had a baby. DSS has not been to stay since, simply because a visit was not due till NYD. He has been round twice for an hour, and seems quite taken with baby...
DSS has a long distance GF. Ex-w has invited her to stay with her the time DSS is due to be with us. This is the second time she has done this. It will mean DSS visit is halved. DH Is devastated. We were looking forward to bonding as a little family. DH has asked if gf can stay with us, but DSS says baby will make it too difficult. He has told him it won't but DSS is set on his plan.
I don't know what to do. It hurts to see DH like this. He wants DSS to start developing a relationship with his little half sister...
I am close to DSS, and promised to email him photos we took of him with baby. WIBU to mention the situation? And tell him how upset his dad is? I really don't know whether this will make it better or worse... But at 16 surely he's old enough to be told the effect of his actions?
Long- sorry, didn't want to dripfeed.
