My SS, 13 comes once a week and every other weekend to stay. He's just came in now. Said hello, I asked him what he's been doing he asked me...then goes in and sits beside his Dad who's working and chats and laughs.
I think the key is to build my relationship with him. I've tried suggesting me and him go on a bike ride together, because he has a bike. He said it was a great idea but he found an excuse not to bring his bike. I ask if he wants to come with me when I am going a walk with DS, but he wants to stay with his Dad.
I often feel very left out. Does it ever change where SC wants to spend time with the step parent? Or maybe this is normal and I just have to accept that he's not that bothered about a relationship with me.
