Tbh I really try to get on with my stepsons mother. He spends a couple of days here of a weekend, we used to have him during the week but that stopped because he didn't like our rules of no TV on a school night. He is only 8 and rules his house at home. His mother constantly makes excuses for him and his behaviour, she's says he is autistic and doesn't sleep. Yet he sleeps just fine at ours?? The problem I have is his mother won't accept my house my rules. He broke my daughters toy on purpose and he was told off then his mother rings up saying he didn't do it on purpose and he can't lie.
She always tries to make everything my kids fault. She's not got a great track record with raising kids. Her eldest has just come out of prison, her 16 year old daughter put herself in foster care and is now pregnant. I'm fed up of her acting like my kids are mean. I think I've done a fair job my 17 year old son is polite has a young lady and has not got any young ladies pregnant, her son is only 23 he has around 5 kids and one on the way..none of which he sees and many are in care.
I am not willing to change my rules or my parenting..I just don't want it to become a big problem between me and dp.
How would any of you guys handle the situation?
