I just don't like her but the kids (he has 3) like seeing everyone getting along.
There is so much that she does that I just hate. Stuff that I think is wrong like not having food in. My partner gets told he has to bring food to be able to pick the kids up at short notice and often when they are picked up on a weekend they haven't had anything to eat even if it is 2 / 3 in the afternoon. She says she can't afford it but there is always enough money for non essentials.
She says she doesn't want me alone with the kids even though I have lived with my partner for 4 months now but when he is at work and she wants to go out she allows it as though it is a huge favour to me rather than the other way around. I met the kids after we had been dating 4 months which she had a fit over as it was too fast but she has literally moved a man into the house with her kids after 2 days. Since I have been with my partner 4 men have moved into and out of her house and yet she still somehow has the upperhand.
I just don't know how to deal with it all. It doesn't help that we are pretty much opposites and I don't like the shouting and swearing and drama. It is like she presents one view of things to her friends and family where my partner doesn't pull his weight but in reality we have them for at least 3 overnights a week plus for tea after school most nights plus every weekend he isn't working. In the past 2 weeks we have had them for 11 nights and yet her mum stopped him in the supermarket to say her daughter was exhausted and he should man up.
It is just insane that she will need some huge favour usually money and then doesn't appreciate it and kicks off again.
