I have been with my DP a year and a bit. We live together and have DSD (3) 2 nights a week includeing everyother weekend. Would be more but DP's EXW doesn't want to not see her DD for 3 days in a row so days got cut down (but its fine for my DP to go 3 days with out seeing his DD!) Anyway its been ok, I get on very well with DSD, well she's 3 what's not to love! I had to meet the EXW before I was allowed to meet DSD and had to wait 6 months till that happened. I did as she asked includeing letting her send me a bitter fueled email the night before we met. I figure 'whatever makes life easier'. I commute for 3 hrs a day for work and work 12 hour days so on the weekdays we have her I do not see her as I get home after see has gone to bed and leave before she is up. Ends up with me seeing her every other sunday. I can't do much a bout this, work are conciderate when you have a child but when its someone else they are understandably not as easy going. So what can I do? I have just heard that the EXW thinks that I am not doing enough, that I only have 'one foot in this'(whatever that means) and that I think of her child as a burden!! I have met this woman once, how can she just decide this? Am I expected to change my job for her child? My DP looks after HIS own daughter, she is not mine, should I make all of the sacrifices I would for my own? I don't have a DC I'm not going to screw up work before I get the chance to have my own DC. Sorry its a long rant, and probably rubbish! Thanks xx
