I have been with DP for 2.5 years and lived with him and his kids for 7 months now.
He has informal joint custody so has the kids 7 nights out of 14 and it works well.
My problem is I feel like I am starting to resent the kids.
I can't even say it's anything the have done because it's not. I love them very much.
I just feel like when they are here I walk on whgshells. If I say anything DP tells me I have gone to far or I get glared at. I also get endless back chat from the kids.
I feel like I am always on at the kids to wash their hands after the loo and dft things like taking their clothes upstairs not leaving stuff at their backsides.
DP reckons I need to stop as it's not my job. I know it's not my job but he doesn't do it!! He isn't a Disney dad but he just doesn't get why certain things bother me.
I really don't know what to do or how to change my feelings. I love DP so much and don't want anyone else. I love his kids as much as possible but they are not mine and I think DP forgets this.
Be grateful I any advice.
Xx
