Dh and I set up home over 3 years ago, my now 15 ds lives with us, his 12 ds will shortly move in 50:50. His 16 dd will probably continue to live with mum. I'm confused why dh has been talking about my ds moving out at 18 (not expected, we live in city with lots of unis to choose from, neither I nor ds dad can afford to pay for a flat for him) ever since we've been together. Dh family and ex w family are not hurting for money and so will be able to afford the best of everything for their dc. Dd already talking about studying abroad, no way I can keep up with this obvious flaunting of funds.
Tbh getting a sound education is something Ill pay for gladly if I can keep accommodation funds down, ds is already quite independent, always willing to add more things to his list of chores. And does not bug me for money, has adequate allowance, etc. I suppose I'm trying to say ds is not a pest to have around, he gets on well with step siblings, is really sweet and loving to dh. Wish my dsc were as kind and considerate to me.
It really angers me that now I agreed to take on dss, and that entails lots of further entitled demands on me, my dh is still on about my ds imminent exit from the house which is financed mainly by me and big enough for all of us! Is this understandable in any way at all?
