Just wondered if other step mums had there step children if there partner was unable to on an occasion ?
They has the set up that if he can’t have his step daughter for a weekend due to whatever reason then they normally swap weekends around. The same with the ex if she wants to change then it’s normally swapped. She doesn’t like us using baby sitters that you pay and SD will not stay overnight with grandparents/friends.
Eow contact. Iv been in the picture 10 years and his daughter is just under 10. I’m not the OW but we met while they had separated but we’re both single.
There is a weekend coming up in a few months time when my partner will be away that falls on his weekend, unfortunately we cannot have her the weekend before as there are already plans in place that also can’t be changed.
He’s asked me if il have his daughter on my own (with our 2 children) for the weekend so pick up and drop back as normal. Iv done it before but to be honest I find it draining when she’s over, she constantly follows me around and I’m not exaggerating, I can go upstairs to the toilet and be gone for 2 mins and she’s walking up the stairs asking when I’m doing. She constantly asks what are we doing later about once an hour if I say I don’t know. She always wants to have company so if she’s playing on the PS4 you have to watch her play, wants to play board games. Etc. My children are not like this they can entertain themselves. Sometimes I just have housework to do and don’t want to sit down and watch her play fortnite
We also have 2 kids of our own.
Just wondered if other step mums have the step kids on there own or not?
