That's it really. I've been seeing someone for just over 2 months and had planned to spend a few days staying at his house. He's now said that one of the days he might not be able to do as his daugher (14) wants him to take her and a friend to a theme park (as they'd planned to go when they ere on hols but it got cancelled). I haven't made a fuss about it to him, but do feel a bit fed up about it. AIBU?

OP what about going along to the theme park too? That's what I did when my DP took his DC 15 and 19. It was fun and I got to know them a bit too. and I love RollerCoasters

Now we have 6 DC between us (!) and there is always one needing a lift/fetching from Uni/asking for help. But we are both in the same boat so there are no hard feelings, just cheerful resignation

After 2m, you are expecting too much.

Children of an alcoholic mother have suffered things you won't be likely to comprehend, weekends are family time too, he didn't cancel the whole weekend, just ONE day/night of it.

Perhaps when you have been going out a bit longer, getting you all together will be easier and you will be able to all share time together, but after only a matter of weeks?

Your support of HIM and his family will be what HE will be looking for IN YOU too.

The trip ended up being cancelled as it was raining, so ended up spending 3 nights with him, but didn't all go well New man - redundancy - depression?
