Hi first time poster were a blended family of 5, I've got my 2 children full time and my partner has her daughter full time, but we find our self's arguing a lot about children as she has all 3 when I'm working, so she helps me a lot, I love her very much but we are always arguing if my kids play up, lie or she things they are ungrateful.
it starts an argument she'll threaten to not look after the kids, or.give them a hard time then say does your mum do this or do that, I do all this and get no thanks, she does do a lot for them and the kids are happy here and she does have a good bond with them.
But she says I let them get away with too much I talk to them when they are naughty and give them a telling off, i'm more of relaxed parent where as she's more strict.
i do find it hard to punish them when I wasn't there to displine them at the time, I say shes need to put them in time when I'm not there but she seem reluctant,
she's currently not speaking to me because my daughter said she wasn't cold when she was at gymnastics only for some one else to ask her and said she was and offered her a hot water bottle, my partner feels like it gonna make it look badly on her.
My daughter not well and shes.feeling hot and.cold so she says, so don't know what to believe, then she keep saying I need to focus on her daughter not my kids and advice would be greatly appreciated
