To not send meals home with DSC

[user1471499145]

DPs DCs stay EOW. He sees them twice every week as well.
Their DM lives with her partner. She has high earning job but doesn’t return home until 7pm ish. The DCs are 15 & 18.
DP has asked if I can send them home with a meal that can be frozen/re heated on the weekends they are with us because they are fed up with their meals.
I have done so far but this weekend I spent 6 hours cooking. I’m knackered.
& I’m feeding his ex - she sent a thank you for her dinner tonight !
I want someone to cook me dinner!

I kind of like that idea, Lunde!

I don't think thr op intends to leave, in fact I suspect she will cook them the meals requested. Sometimes it just is what it is.

I don't think thr op intends to leave

I agree. She’s obviously getting something from this.

I don't usually post but this really hit a nerve with me. PLEASE think about this from another angle. What example are you setting to these children by continuing to carry on being walked all over? That it's OK to expect this from you? The best thing you could do for them is stand up for yourself and teach them that people aren't there to be used. Their parents acting 'entitled' like this will only breed more of this behaviour. This will soon become a sport to them all, to see how much they can get away with.
Stop this now.

Do you think OP will cover a dessert based issue in the next post?

I am in a newish relationship and this is ringing alarm bells in my head again.
The thought of doing the freedom programme didnt enter my head until reading your post this evening when I now realise that in order to spot any other CF in my life I need to do this.

You need to get rid of your 'newish relationship' and stop dating until you do the Freedom Programme and get some help for your self-esteem or you'll just go from one abusive relationship to another.

taimaa I realise that now. Have just sat and thought about my relationships throughout my life and had a huge lightbulb moment. The newish relationship is done. I ended it yesterday and plan to contact WA on Monday.

I am broken

Actually I have just run my local office and they will call me when they have dates for starting the programme. Not ideal, but its a start.

Carlos . I hope you are doing ok.
