I feel like a volcano about to erupt, I have 2 children of my own ds 11 and dd14 they live with me most of the time and see their dad every other weekend. my dp has 2 dds 12 and 13, they live with us 50% of the time and their mum the other 50% of the time. There are quite s few issues really I could be here all day. When we all first moved together 2 years ago there was quite a bit of jealousy between the girls, particularly the older 2 my dd was no angel and either were his. Anyway things got better, we go on holiday together, eat out together and do seperate things too. My 2 have no grandparents they are all dead we don't live near family we live near dps family so sometimes dps mum will take the 2 girls (my sds)out for tea maybe shopping, she enjoys spoiling them and I think it's lovely for them. But they get jealous when I take my 2 out when they are at their mums. Last week their mum took them out to waggamamas, me and my 2 went shopping to get my youngest sd her birthday presents and while out we went to Nando's and I must admit it's nice to spend this time with each other. Anyone who has teenages knows about Snapchat and all of them tend to put things on showing what they did or were they are. So my eldest sd put on an angry face emoji saying. Get treated differently when not there! Then the younger one copied...... I was so upset, I take them out, I buy them clothes, I've even taken them out on their own when mine haven't been there. I look after them when they're ill, cook, clean pick them up from school all the usual things but they seem to think it's unfair I take my 2 out and then put it on social media. I know it's just kids but would u feel upset?
