Never posted on here before so helping someone could help me out.

I have two DD’s and my partner has a DD & DS. This weekend was our first weekend all together i thought it had gone really well bT a few bumps which was expected but today a topic was brought up about what would happen if his DS didnt want to come round whilst i had my DD’s, this came about as he went back to his mom and said he didnt like my eldest DD as she was too bossy. I agreed she was bossy and would talk to her but i feel upset his DS said this as when it was time to go home he was upset and wanted to stay longer and an hour previously they were out in the garden loving life on the trampoline.

What would you guys do if this was you or you have been in this situation?

It all depends on how her mum is. Is she OK with you? Is she OK with you being around the kids? If not the child might have said it to reassure mum she's not having a good time.

It could also be because she ain't no longer the only girl.

I wouldn't think to much into it. Next time they come it's a new day and more than likely a new challenge.

It's hard for some children and the best thing is to give them time to get used everything. Maybe dad spend time alone with them.

It's a boy, isn't it? He's bound to feel a bit unsure if he's the only boy. How old are the children? I think my way of dealing with it would be to make sure there are boy things to do, and that he enjoys visiting you. The trampoline was a good idea.
