to be annoyed that my ex DH thinks more of his new GFs kids than his own

[TrixieAndDixie]

A bit of history here. Was married for 15 years, got 3 kids and we decided to split amicably.

OK, he meets someone new within 1 month, she has 3 kids, is a Divorcee living in a council house and as it stands ex DH has our kids every other weekend from Friday 4pm-Sunday 4pm.

OK I can't complain about this but I know for a fact his GF is a very jealous person and get the impression she wants nothing to do with our kids (mine & ex DH's) and I can tell you why for example

They have been on holiday 4 times with her kids but have never ever taken our kids on holiday.

Whenever there is a celebration her kids get to go but our don't .

I understand there is no possible way you could take 6 kids on holiday but it annoys me that he thinks more of her kids than his own.

Whenever he drops the kids back to me on the Sunday evening he talks constantly about HER kids and how wonderful they are in every possible way. It bloody annoys me so much. AIBU?

why can't you take 6 children on holiday? I'm one of 7 and my parents managed - you sound totally reasonable to me, although it would be interesting to hear their side of the story too. How do they justify it all?

I know how you feel, had words with my xh this morning over the very same thing

YANBU

But i would be inclined that nice but how have your children been.

Ah, I feel for your children, it sounds sad for them. Can you speak to your ex about it and present it as a joint problem and ask for his help. I don't think you are being unreasonable, I think step families really have to take the needs of all children into consideration. Do your children notice? I think you should speak to your ex as calmly as possible about it, without accusing anyone of anything, esp as you say it's amicable. So you should try to keep it so imo.
