Can't stand DP's kids

I have been with my DP for around 2 years, he has residency of his 2 kids from a previous relationship and I have a DD of my own. We don't yet live together simply because I could not stand being near his kids any more than I have to, at the moment I sleep at his house one weekend and he sleeps here the weekend after. When I stay there his kids are wild, they're 2 boys aged 5 and 7 and they have no discipline at all, whenever they play up DP laughs hysterically at them.

They make comments regarding my weight calling me "big belly" and "biggie" etc, poke fun at my appearance, dive on me when I have hot drinks (this has caused me to scold myself once already), they throw things at me, cough in my face and in a morning they dive on the bed making sure they land on me and jump around on me threatning to "fart" on my face etc, last weekend one of them even held a pillow over my face. DP was just laughing hysterically and I've caught him actually encouraging them telling them to come and "cuddle" me which he knows ends up with them diving on me and doing their best to hurt me.

At the weekend we were in Asda and it was packed out, I seperated from them for a few minutes and across the ailes I could see DP laughing and whispering to his kids and with that they came charging upto me shouting "big belly" at the tops of their voices, I was really embarrassed as everyone automatically looked at me. They did this from across the road once too.

How do I get through to DP that his kids are not funny, he isnt funny and if it continiues they're going to end up hurting someone?

I think it's unfair to blame the children when it sounds like your dp, supposedly a responsible adult, is being an arse in egging them on.

the problem lies with your dp, he doesnt sound like he has much respect for you

hippmummy · 06/02/2007 14:40

Please don't blame the children. They are 5 and 7. You're DP needs to get his act together and start being a responsible adult teaching them respect and discipline.
You have to let him know that you find their behaviour unnaccaptable and he has to do something about it.

Er, why are you with this awful bloke?

Don't blame his kids, blame him.

He sounds vile, frankly.

I agree, it's not the fault of the the kids, your 'D'P is seriously lacking in respect for you.

There was another one as well where the poster's children were calling her partner fat, jumping on him, farting in his face, and she thought it was just a huge joke and that he should get a sense of humour.

thats the ones... not half term again is it??

This person is really really strange. He/She keeps on posting the same scenario with different characters. It is almost like there is a real problem somewhere at the root of the weird stories.

brandy7 · 06/02/2007 15:49

dont go and stay there the weekend the kids are then, simple as that
