Teenager won't stop texting my OH

[Imagiro]

Hi all.... please be kind!

AIBU - my partner's 18 year old messages my OH CONSTANTLY ( Between 300-500 messages a day - seriously ). I don't see this as any of my business - other than we don't get the chance to do the basic stuff ( ie eat ) uninterrupted. She messages whilst she is in the same room even! And if my OH doesn't reply immediately she 'prank' messages until she gets a reply.
I feel unkind for seeing it as a problem - but its driving me mad!

Does your OH work?

Find it bonkers the amount of people who see nothing wrong with this behaviour!!
Sorry OP no advice but assurance I'd be as frustrated as you and refuse to belive anyone wouldn't be

Agree this is strange behaviour however would suggest you change the title as it sounds a lot different to what it actually is. Thought the babysitter was trying to have a fling with your OH for a minute

MrsDrSpencerReid love your name! and i also still do this.and then i progress to funny gifs!

You are not being in any way an evil step mother- I would not tolerate anyone texting me that much! Has your partner addressed this? Does she say why>
I can't believe anyone can be arsed to send this many messages but I am not a teenager! It sounds like maybe she wants more attention but that needs to be with boundaries. So if she refused to stop doing it then there will need to be rules (as PP said, blocked if spamming in same house, no phones at dinner etc) BUT this all needs to be led by your partner. If he is not intervening or is responding then she is getting positive feedback and will not stop

I have a feeling this is going to be a drip-feed thread.

Op, if it bothers him, he needs to tell her to stop. If she doesn’t stop, there needs to be consequences, eg, he takes her phone off her for a period of time. If she has SN, that’s a different story.

What does your OH think of all this?

Are you married?

This is what my ex partner's wife told his parents I'd been doing. I've text him twice this year to confirm dropping off and collection times. I suspect he is texting OWs.

My ex - not the OP's partner.

Have you actually seen the messages? Are they definitely from his daughter?

This

My teen did this to me. I blocked her number for an hour after each spam... this however is his issue to deal with.

What's the background?

How long does she see him/ you? Stay over?
Relationship with own mum/ slept parent?
Other siblings?

As is often said on MN in different contexts, you don't have a dsd problem, you have a dp problem.

Easy to deal with this. He needs to leave phone in a different room for meals, keep it on silent when he's doing something like talking to you, washing up, talking to her, not reply to her spamming him, and reply when it's sensible and not any of the times above.
