My partner has three children. He seems completely obsessed with his eldest daughter who is 16. He is not like this with the other pair. I feel like they are the couple and I am looking on.
I frequently find myself feeling like a third wheel or like I have to defend my 'position' with them. It's exhausting and relentless.
She utterly flipped that he ran some living arrangements (which nights she stays in ours every week) by me.
She demands to know how much he is earning and informed me we were moving to a bigger house if he got a promotion he was going for. I didn't know if he had promised her this without discussing with me (I don't want to move).
I am pregnant and she told me in no uncertain terms our chosen baby name was not a runner as she didn't like it. He didn't see anything weird about this.
I was doing a silly compatibility quiz with him the other night for a joke and after we scored highly offered to do it for her and her new boyfriend. She declined and ordered me to do it for her and her dad.
She asks him to massage her legs constantly for her, rants openly if he sits with me on the couch... The list goes on and on and on.
I don't have children of my own yet so I don't know AIBU (and jealous)?
The other two daughters can be brats and very cheeky but I don't feel uncomfortable and irrelevant when they are with us.

AIBU?
To feel like a gooseberry with my DP and DSS?
