So I have 2 dc of my own, 2 dsds too. Mine live with me full time and his 50% of the time. We live in his home town around his family. I don't really have any family both parents died and me and my sister are not close. It just feels so imbalanced, I feel all the rules apply to my 2 and not his! He doesn't see it if I mention it even with examples, his 2 at different times have been rude and disrespectful towards me were as mine are a bit scared of him, cos of his rules! His mum who is a lovely lady likes to take her grandchildren out and treat them but never does mine, I know the bond is different but why doesn't she try my 2 have no grandparents. I get down about it sometimes. Next week his stepdaughter from his last marriage is coming over she is also his dds half sister, she's bringing her boyfriend and his mum and muggins here is cooking for them all. I feel there's them and us sometimes.
On top of that my dh had a heart attack a few months ago so I walk on eggshells with him atm as he gets stressed easily and I have to try not to let that happen. I feel trapped
