So interested in all the comments regarding being a stepmother - it seems the common denominator in all this are weak dads who all seem unable to parent their children properly - little ones and big ones and they all appear to put up with rudeness and bad behaviour.
My DP is a lovely kind and considerate man but he has this ridiculous change of personality too when his kids (big ones) visit, he turns into a complete sap and puts up with crap on TV all weekend, lying in bed till all hours and a general taking over of our home - he just grins stupidly and shrugs but he has no qualms in putting my girls in their place - weird.
Is this guilt or a strange phenomenon (hope spelling right!!)that changes these Dads into doormats - be interested in any views!!
