Was just wondering what everyone’s thoughts are on this?
My step daughter stays with us every weekend, Monday and Thursday evening. We also have recently had a baby together. We have just started having date nights again once a month which we will have to have on a Saturday night when my stepdaughter comes to visit and it got me thinking that she may feel a bit put out that we are spending this time together as a couple and yet she doesn’t really get one-on-one time with her dad apart from when he picks her up from school and sometimes takes her to subway.
Anyway, I was thinking it might be a good idea for them to start going out together once a month so she still gets time with her dad but then I was starting to think of our baby once she was older too.
Is it a good idea to start this up? Or would it cause issues as even though our daughter obviously lives with us full time she may start asking questions as to why her sister gets alone time with him without us but she spends time with all of us as a family. On the other hand, my stepdaughter might start feeling a little bit of resentment that her sister does get to spend everyday with him.
