Step kids

I have 2 children from a previous marriage aged 21 and 18. My husband of only one year does not like them, considers them lazy and I've been a bad parent so far. He had a previous marriage of 18 years and was a step father to 2 girls for their entire adult life but actively encouraged them to leave home at 18 and threw one out at 18!!!! I want my kids to be comfortable at home with us but they're obviously not. Do I choose my husband or my kids. I don't want them to hate me.

Has he always not liked them?

Choose your kids. You can get another bloke anytime if you're that desperate...
Your kids are very special and unique.
Don't lose them through making stupid choices.

Husbands are replaceable. Children are not.
