im sick to death of hearing how wonderful my ex's step children are how well behaved they are how they help round the house do as they are told etc...when he cant say a single nice thing about our children :(
he says they have no respect for him, but when he dropped them back home the other day my eldest (9) went to shut the door and didnt realise her little brother (2) had his thumb in the way. He was fine i told dd to just sit down and not to worry and id just give him a cuddle quick picked ds up and next thing ex is screaming at dd that shes wants to be more fucking careful and what is she some sort of retard. I straight away told him to stop and explained to dd he was very wrong she doesnt need to accept that from anyone least of all her father, and he yelled at me for bringing him up on it infront of her and im the reason they have no respect.
maybe i should have waited but i was so disgusted by what he said and tbh need my dd to know im behind her wether she makes mistakes and like i said she doesnt have to accept that sort of abuse from anyone so i stand by what i didit wasnt i dont think a reasonable form of response for any misdeed, let alone a simple mistake i mean ds shut the door on dd7 finger the other day its a mistake for me a simple be careful would have done, not to mention dd was so upset she had hurt her brother she was upset enough
this is according to dd not the first time and i feel so sad hes so wrapped up in his new family he cant see the damage hes doing to his own children how can he have so much patience for his gfs children and not ours?
weve talked and ive told him in general here they behave they arent perfect (show me a child who is) but they are good children and his lack of respect for them is why they have none for him..its changed nothing and i just dont know what to do!
