I'm almost certain that this post will get me a barrage of abuse but I need to get this out and I can't think of anywhere else to do it.
I've been with my partner for 18 months now and while I love the bones of her I actively dislike her 5 year old son.
At first I thought that it was because I didn't really like kids (I have a 3 year old son myself who I absolutely adore but I don't really have time for any other kids) but I've since met more parents (usually on trips to the staple location of parents of young children, the play centre) and I don't feel anywhere near the same level of dislike as I do towards my partners child.
My partner is very keen to try for a baby of our own but I can't bear the thought of my potential future child being related to him.
He's a very badly behaved child. He screams blue murder when he doesn't get his own way (and sometimes when he does) or when someone tries to discipline him. He rarely goes to bed before 10pm (it would take physically restraining him to get him to stay in bed, which of course neither of us do) and he purposefully breaks anything and everything he can.
I hate myself for feeling this way, and while I haven't spoken to my partner about it (how could I?), It's starting to get to the point where I can't bottle it up anymore.
