I have three DC (5, 7 and 10). Ex h and I are divorced.
DP and I have lived together for 18 months.
Ex h is a very hands on dad, always clowning around and cuddling. DP is much quieter and more serious, he's not very close to my DC.
DS 7 who is normally a very placid kind child has been whining a lot lately and bickering with his younger brother, this often ends in whacking each other and someone crying. He isn't really fond of DP.
Last night DC were telling me that DP has favourites and he doesn't like DS 5. DS 7 said yes, I can whack my younger brother as hard as I like and DP says I just tapped him and he's crying for nothing....
I brought this up when we were all eating last night. DP got cross with DS 7 and said its not true he doesn't have favourites.
At 7am this morning the boys start bickering. DS 7 hits DS 5 really hard. DP hears this and starts bellowing at DS 7, who starts crying as he's scared if DP.
All DC are now glum, I feel glum and depressed and DP is at work.
In DP's defence he has developed a severe back problem, is in a lot of pain and awaiting surgery.
